Lyrics

The real me


verse one
They say they?ve noticed a change in the way I am,
when I?m around you I?m someone new,
but I couldn?t figure out what they were on about
I denied it was true.


chorus
All I wanna be is just whoever I am
suffocating me I?m tired of pretending.
Never myself I?m always somebody else
now I?m ready to be the real me.


bridge one
Then it came to me one day
as I impersonate your perfect date,
that is never me I play
its time to change.


verse two
I dream it up and I sink into make believe
realising how to appeal
and I?d always try to be just how you wanted me
but its getting hard to conceal.


bridge two
Will it ever be the same?
I apologise for a thousand lies.
I?m no good at this game
So I?ll drop the disguise.


Bridge three
It occurred to me one day
that I impersonate your perfect date,
that is never me I play
so its time to change.
