Post 181: The Truth of Who You Are (1999?)

THE TRUTH OF WHO YOU ARE

THE REAL YOU IS WHO I FELL IN LOVE WITH

I COULD SEE YOUR FRAGILE HEART BEATING
BENEATH A FALSE EXTERIOR YOU SHOW TO THE WORLD
 IT KEPT ME DREAMING

(BUT YOU'RE HIDING FROM THE TRUTH OF WHO YOU ARE

THE FACE YOU PORTRAY IS NOT YOU
YOU'RE HIDING FROM THE TRUTH OF WHO YOU ARE
WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THE TRUTH IS FAR BETTER THAN A LIE
YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH, HOW YOU REALLY ARE
BUT YOU WON'T LET ANYONE SEE, THE TRUTH OF WHO YOU ARE)

YOU SAY KIDS AND ANIMALS LIKE YOU, BECAUSE THEY CAN SEE THE TRUE YOU

BUT WHY DON'T YOU LET ANYONE ELSE SEE
YOU SAY YOU WANT TO BE MORE LIKE YOUR FRIENDS
BUT CAN'T YOU SEE THE REAL YOU IS A BILLION TIMES BETTER

(CHORUS)

HIDING FROM A PERSON YOU KNOW YOU ARE

YOUR SHELL ONLY SUFFOCATES THE TRUE YOU
THE FACE YOU WANT EVEYONE TO SEE ISN'T YOU
WHY ARE YOU SO SCARED TO SHOW YOUR TRUE SELF TO THE WORLD
IT'S SO MUCH BETTER GIRL

(CHORUS)
