I put on this smile 'til you go away, and hope that my eyes don't give me away,
And I can pretend that everything is alright; I've gotten really good, I've done it all of my life,
I keep you at a distance so you can't tell I'm not doing very well.
If you find out who I really am...
If I show you what I keep in the dark...
Stripped of my defences, can your love really clothe my naked heart?
I've gotten so used to having this pain, can't imagine it could ever change,
If I should look at he truth inside I feel like I might not survive,
So I wrap up this part that doesn't look good; I make it look lovely, like I think it should,
But if you only know who I pretend to be I'll never know if you could really love me.
If you find out who I really am...
If I show you what I keep in the dark...
Stripped of my defences, can your love really clothe my naked heart?
(If you find out who I really am...
