The Real Me Lyrics

Artist: Clay Aiken
Album: On My Way Here

Foolish heart looks like we're here again
Same old game of plastic smile
Don't let anybody in
Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break
How much will they take before I'm empty
Do I let it show, does anybody know?

But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Reveal me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to hold back my frailty
cause you see the real me

Painted on, life is behind a mask
Self-inflicted circus clown
I'm tired of the song and dance
Living a charade, always on parade
What a mess I've made of my existence
But you love me even now
And still I see somehow
That you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Reveal me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to hold back my frailty
Oh, cause you see the real me

Shadows are shattered dreams
They follow me, they haunted me
But you've taken the broken pieces
of my life and helped me to believe

I just wanna be me
Cause you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Reveal me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to hold back my frailty
Oh, cause you see the real me
