Clay Aiken - The Real Me Lyrics

Complimentary "The Real Me" Ringtone

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? 

CHORUS: 
But you see the real me 
Hiding in my skin 
Broken from within 
Reveal me completely 
I'm loosening my grasp 
No need to hold back my frailty 
'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 existance 
But you love me even now 
And still I see somehow 

CHORUS: 
That you see the real me 
Hiding in my skin 
Broken from within 
Reveal me completely 
I'm loosening my grasp 
No need to hold back my frailty 
'Cause you see 
The real me 

Shadows of shattered dreams 
They've followed me 
They've haunted me 
But you've taken the 
Broken pieces of my life 
And helped me to believe 

'Cause you see the real me 
Hiding in my skin 
Broken from within 
Reveal me completely 
I'm loosening my grasp 
No need to hold back my frailty 
Oh, 'cause you see 
The real me
