The Real Me

I try to be
More than me
For the sake of everyone else
I try to be
More than enough
But it's never enough

I'm a stalled out car
That you pushed too far
Now you can't rely on me anymore
I got a broken heart
I won't let them see
When I try to be more than me

I don't know when
I started to change

There's no way I can fight it,
And there's no way I can hide it
This world was made for the ones
Who are better than me
And I'm still patiently waiting
For the day I'll quit masquerading
But I'm not quite ready for you to see
The real me

Don't look too close,
Don't go too deep
This is how the distance between us starts
What will you do when you learn
That I am less than
The sum of all my parts?

I am just a mess
I must confess
I get so sick of all of this stress
I got a broken heart
I won't let them see
When I try to be
More than me

I'll live in the rain

There's no way I can fight it,
And there's no way I can hide it
This world was made for the ones
Who are better than me
And I'm still patiently waiting
For the day I'll quit masquerading
But I'm not quite ready for you to see
The real me

There's no way I can hide it,
And there's no way I could fight it
This world was made for the ones
Who are better than me
And I'm still patiently waiting
For the day I'll quit masquerading
But I'm not quite ready for you to see
The real me
