Clay Aiken The Real Me Lyrics

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 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

No need to hold back 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

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 of shattered dreams

They follow me

They've haunted me

But you've taken the broken pieces of my life

and helped me to believe.

]

Cause 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 hold back my frailty

Oh,
cause you see the real me
