The Real Me

People think, I've got it all together
With the show and my sweet, sweet smile
But do they know if I've been happy ever
Pull up a chair 'cause this may take a while
Okay, so here's the thing

I've got my bad days, and 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 may 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, oh, no
But I am here and this has taken courage
Will you abandon me or will you stay?
(Please stay with me)

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

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?

Now I've gone and let you in
And I no longer will pretend
Will you please still be my friend?
(Oh)
Will you please still be my friend?
(Oh)
Do you see me now

(This is the real me)
Am I the girl that you want me to be
(This is the real me)
(Real me)

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?

This is the real me
Oh, here I am now
This is the real me
With all my flaws and fears

This is the real me
Can you face it? Can you feel it?
Can you take it? Can you deal with
The real me?
