The Real Me Lyrics

I don't wanna hurt nobody, so I keep to myself

I keep tryna fight this feeling

I think I need some help

Too strong I can't even fight it

Disguise don't work, I can't hide it

I just push away

Anyone who gets too close to me

Cause I'm too afraid

What they may behold when they see me

When they see me, when they see me

Will they love me the same

When they see me, the real me

Not the one that I fight to portray

Will they still love me, love me, love me

Will they still love me, love me, love me

Will they still love me, love me, love me

Will they still love me, love me, love me

I decided I ain't hiding no more

Either accept the real me or get nothing at all

If I'm the problem, tell me, how can I solve

Hate when people play a role

And then act like they was never involved

Just cause we conversated don't mean nothing at all

Cause you can hear me and don't listen

That means nothing's resolved

I know somebody told me maybe I should open up

But broken trust is the main reason I closed it up

They said they knew me, but obviously they ain't know enough

Cause being present is not the same as showing up

I learned that you can have love, but it's hard to show it

Just cause you wear a cape don't make you heroic

Just because they know your name

Don't mean that they know him

Just because you getting taller don't mean that you growing

What if I take this bandage off and let you see my scars

Let you see my wounds, let you see my heart

Let you hear my thoughts for a minute, could you handle it

Nah, I think they leave

That's the voice of abandonment

Sure it was an accident, but I'm stuck with the damages

And I ain't got the funds nor the time just to manage it

Most of my pain, thrift store, second hand it in

Doing all this homework but fail cause I don't hand it in

Honestly, I'm just being honest cause I can't pretend

Left you on the porch cause I was too afraid to let you in

I don't wanna hurt nobody, so I keep to myself

I keep trying to fight this feeling

I think I need some help

Too strong I can't even fight it

Disguise don't work, I can't hide it

I just push away anyone who gets too close to me

Cause I'm too afraid of what they may be of when they see me

When they see me, when they see me

Will they love me the same

When they see me, the real me

Not the one that I fight to portray

Will they still love me

Love me Love me

Will they still love me

Love me Love me

Will they still love me

Love me Love me

Will they still love me

Love me Love me
