Clay Aiken - The Real Me lyrics

Foolish heart looks like we're here again Same old game of plastic smile Don't let anybody in Hiding my heartache, will this gla** 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 Unveil me completely I'm loosening my grasp There's no need to mask my frailty Oh, 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 But you see the real me Hiding in my skin, broken from within Unveil me completely I'm loosening my grasp There's no need to mask my frailty Oh, cause you see the real me Wonderful, beautiful is what you see When you look at me You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into A perfect tapestry I just wanna be me But you see the real me Hiding in my skin, broken from within Unveil me completely I'm loosening my grasp There's no need to mask my frailty Oh, cause you see the real me And you love me just as I am Wonderful, beautiful is what you see When you look at me
