REAL ME

(Verse 1)
I’ve been hiding in the shadows, playing by the rules
Trying to be what they wanted, but feeling like a fool
Smiling for the pictures, talking just to please
But inside I’m screaming, longing to be free

(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, I’m done with the mask, done with the lies
No more pretending, I’m opening my eyes
If you love me, love me for who I am
Not some picture-perfect version, just a part of the plan

(Chorus)
This is the real me, no more disguise
No more faking, no more lies
I won’t be silent, I won’t hide
I’m stepping out into the light
The real me, yeah, the real me

(Verse 2)
I used to chase approval, afraid to stand alone
But now I’ve found my fire, I’m claiming back my throne
Every scar, every story, they all made me strong
I won’t change for nobody—I’ve been me all along

(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, I’m done with the mask, done with the lies
No more pretending, I’m opening my eyes
If you love me, love me for who I am
Not some picture-perfect version, just a part of the plan

(Chorus)
This is the real me, no more disguise
No more faking, no more lies
I won’t be silent, I won’t hide
I’m stepping out into the light
The real me, yeah, the real me

(Bridge)
I won’t break, I won’t bend
This is my truth, this is the end—
Of all the fear, of all the shame
Now I stand proud, I say my name

(Outro)
So take me or leave me, I won’t change
I’m not afraid, I’ve turned the page
No more doubts, I’m finally free
Standing tall as the real me
