When my heart and mind don't seem to agree
Can I possibly express my thoughts and feelings freely?
Every time I try to be honest
Someone always turns away
As though the real me is a scary monster with an ugly face
How long do I have to hide behind this multi-layered mask?
Behind all these so-called social etiquettes?
Locking the true words I want to utter as soon as I think of them
People say they dislike fake people
Fake people are dishonest
But would you like the real me?
I know you'd smile and say 'Yes'
When I show you the real me,
You'd walk away saying I wasn't being myself
Don't you know real people aren't happy all the time?
That they're not always the nice, patient people you see
Everyone deserves their own time
To cry, to laugh, to be angry, to be sympathetic
How can you label someone as being a happy person all the time?
If only everyone were as one-dimensional as you think
Life would be so much more convenient
Wishful thinking,
That's all it is
Why don't you wake up and smell the air for what it is?
Sometimes fresh and clear
Sometimes polluted and dusty
Open your eyes to this complicated world
Where nothing is as it seems
But if you do find someone true
The best thing to do is to keep someone like that by your side
Truth peeks occasionally
Lies swirl around every letter
Let's see which one will win in the end
You can stand on your side
Just let me stand on mine.
