Lyrics

0:14Foolish heart looks like we're here again
0:20Same old game of plastic smile
0:23Don't let anybody in
0:27Hiding my heartache will this glass house break
0:34How much will they take before I'm empty
0:41Do I let it show does anybody know
0:50But you see the real me
0:57Hiding in my skin broken from within
1:03Unveil me completely
1:11I'm loosening my grasp
1:14There's no need to mask my frailty
1:21Oh cause you see the real me
1:33Painted on life is behind a mask
1:37Self-inflicted circus clown
1:41I'm tired of the song and dance
1:44Living a charade always on parade
1:51What a mess I've made of my existence
1:58But you love me even now
2:01And still I see somehow
2:06But you see the real me
2:13Hiding in my skin broken from within
2:20Unveil me completely
2:27I'm loosening my grasp
2:30There's no need to mask my frailty
2:36Oh cause you see the real me
2:45Shadows are shattered dreams they follow me they've haunted me
2:58But you've taken the broken pieces of my life and helped me to believe
3:26'Cause you see the real me hiding in my skin broken from within
3:40Reveal me completely I'm loosening my grasp
3:51There's no need to mask my frailty
3:57Oh cause you see the real me
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
Shadows are shattered dreams  they follow 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
There's no need to mask my frailty
Oh  cause you see the real me
