Can I be someone else?
My voice would say things loud
Speak words from my feet mind
That echo social mind
If I was someone else
I would have told you my views on life
Even knowing that they'd collide
Then you'd know why I'm saving you
Some things are just too dark for truth
I could let you so much closer
I could even let you in
To feel the weight on my shoulders
And let you see the real me
I will wait until you're sorry
By then you will have seen me weak
I will know before you know it
That's when I tell you to leave
Can I be someone else?
That I'd be so much kinder to myself
I would take the hand whenever doubt
I would try to not think too much
On these thoughts that I'm thinking
I'll try to be more sound
Reason more, listen more, and to be proud
And I'll look inside after something I need to find
I'll allow truth to come from the inside
I could let you so much closer
I could even let you in
To feel the weight on my shoulders
And let you see the real me
And I will wait until you're sorry
By then you will have seen me weak
I will know before you know it
That's when I tell you to leave
So don't look away
I dare you to stay
I want you to stay
So hold on
Don't let go
Don't let go
Just hold on
I could let you so much closer
I could even let you in
You'd feel the weight on my shoulders
But only then you'd feel what I feel
And I will wait until you're sorry
By then you will have seen me weak
Now before you show it
Because I know the real me
Now before you show it
Because I know the real me
Now before you show it
Because I know the real me
Now before you show it
Because I know the real me
Now before you show it
Because I know the real me
Because I know the real me
Because I know the real me
Because I know the real me
