The Real You

I see you bending yourself

Into all these shapes

That you don’t like

All for their amusement

You been taught that

This is just how you get by

How you survive

Gotta let that go or it’ll kill you slowly

I see you

The real you

The real you

I see you

The real you

The real you

The one who doesn’t give a damn

What anybody thinks

‘Bout anything you do

The real you

You don’t have to front about it no more

Don’t have to keep taking what they’re giving you

I know that you wanna be the real you

I know that you wanna be the real you

It’s gonna be hard for you to break free

You been down and out for so long you gone numb

You just need somebody who will lift you up

Every time you try to change it up

They drag you right back down

They don’t wanna lose you

They see you grow

And it reminds them of their insecurities

Gotta learn to swim

Or they’ll just drown you slowly

I see you

The real you

The real you

I see you

The real you

The real you

The one who doesn’t give a damn

What anybody thinks

‘Bout anything you do

The real you

The one who doesn’t give a damn

What anybody thinks

‘Bout anything you do

The real you

The real you
