Really Matters

[Verse 1]
You see through your convincing eyes
Only what you want, only what you like
As I move closer can you see in mine
A single trace of what you thought you’d find

[Verse 2]
Have I surprised you, were you taken back
By all the lustre and the guise I seem to lack
I’m not your average ego maniac
I’d like to throw this one out and make another batch…

[Chorus]
It’s not always what you think of me
It’s not always what you’d like it to be
It’s not always what you think of me that really matters

[Verse 3]
I can’t believe this place inside my mind
I got to stand back, crouch down low, get behind
Do I know you? Can you make the sign?
I know we will survive my life but you might not like it

[Verse 4]
I’m face to face with men I’ve learned to hate
I feel their embraces, I put on their weight
I try to run and run but they clip my gait
Like one of those dreams, I can’t accelerate

[Chorus]
It’s not always what you think of me
It’s not always what you’d like it to be
It’s not always what you think of me that really matters
