the real me

people think i've got it all together
with the show and my sweet smile.
but do they know if i've been happy ever?
pull up a chair cause this might take a while
ok so here's the thing

i have my bad days, some are even worse
i can be a blessing and you know,
i can be a curse
i tremble at rejection, i'm scared to be alone
sometimes i might be selfish
but i always make it home

this is the real me
am i the girl that you want me to be?
this is the real me
with flaws and fears of intimacy
this is the real me
can you face it, can you feel it,
can you take it, can you deal with
the real me?

so now you see that i am far from perfect
i will fall and i will make mistakes
but i am here and this is taking courage
will you abandon me or will you stay?

i know that i'm demanding and sometimes insecure
i think i've got the answers, but then i'm not so sure
i sometimes need attention, a little more than i should
but there is a part of me
that would give the whole world if i could

now that i'm gonnna let you in
and i no longer will pretend
will you still be my friend?
will you please forgive, my friend?
do you see me now?

this is the real me
am i the girl that you want me to be?
i have flaws and i have fears
but this is the real me
now the question is
will you take me or leave me?
