Want To Be Real
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've never said this before
I've never opened that door so wide
No one else is around
There is no good reason for me to hide
And I, I wanna be real
So I'm throwing out words I don't fully understand
I could be talking to myself but I don't think I am
'Cause You're always there through the fight
Saving my heart from the doubt inside
I'm not the man that I was
I used to see You in highs and lows
But now I keep on believing
And even if I can't see, You show
And I, I wanna be real, oh, yeah
So I'm throwing out words I don't fully understand
I could be talking to myself but I don't think I am
'Cause You're always there through the fight
Saving my heart from the doubt inside
And I, I wanna be real
And I wanna be real
There's too much at stake
And I'm tired of faking
I just wanna be real
I wanna be real
There's too much at stake
I don't care if I break
I just wanna be real
I wanna be real
So I'm throwing out words I don't fully understand
I could be talking to myself but I don't think I am
'Cause You're always there through the fight
Saving my heart from the doubt inside
You're always right by my side, yeah
I've never said this before
I've never opened the door so wide
But I think it's time
