Real Me

My walls are up
My smile’s turned on
My eyes my only give away
They mess up my con.
This life is my stage
And I its player
The person you see
Is just the first layer

What you see is not what you get,
What you see is not what it seems.

To everyone around me,
I seem fun and light.
But when it’s time for the show to end,
It’s all darkness in the night.

I’ve been deceiving,
People think I’m happy.
But that’s just not true.
Why can’t they see
If you look past the smile
And into my eyes
You’d see this for what it is
Just a thin disguise

What you see is not what you get,
What you see is not what it seems.

To everyone around me,
I seem fun and light.
But when it’s time for the show to end,
It’s all darkness in the night.

When people look in my eyes
All they see is my pain.
So I keep them hidden.
No one can see when it rains.
I think I know the reason,
For my deceit.
I don’t believe anyone could like me,
So real me’s gotta take a backseat.

What you see is not what you get,
What you see is not what it seems.

To everyone around me,
I seem fun and light.
But when it’s time for the show to end,
It’s all darkness in the night.

Love
Roxanne
