The Real Me

THE REAL ME Words and Music by Natalie Grant

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
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

Bridge:
Wonderful, beautiful
Is what you see
When you look at me
You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into
A perfect tapestry
Oh, I just wanna be me
I wanna be me

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 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?
