I see you bending yourself
Into all these shapes
That you don't like
All for their amusement
You been taught that this is just how you get by, how you survive
Gotta let that go
Or it'll kill you slowly
I see you
The real you
The real you
I see you
The real you
The real you
The one who doesn't give a damn
What anybody thinks
'Bout anything you do
The real you
You don't have to front about it no more
Don't have to keep talking what they're giving you
I know that you wanna be the real you
(I know that you wanna be the real you)
It's gonna be hard for you to break free
You been down and out for so long, you've gone numb
You just need somebody who will lift you up
Every time you try to change it up
They drag you right back down
They don't wanna lose you
They see you grow
And it reminds them
Of their insecurities
Gotta learn to swim
Or they'll just drown you slowly
I see you
The real you
The real you
I see you
The real you
The real you
The one who doesn't give a damn
What anybody thinks
'Bout anything you do
The real you
The one who doesn't give a damn
What anybody thinks
'Bout anything you do
The real you
