From the recording The Best Is Yet to Come
Lyrics
Sometimes I feel like I’m walking
Through life in a disguise
Gotta put my best foot forward,
Strength on display, flaws minimized
And even when my heart is breaking,
Gotta plaster on a smile
‘Cause it seems like the whole world’s waiting
Just to find something to criticize
But you see who I really am,
Not who I pretend to be
You look past the obvious,
Deep down to the secret heart of me
And you love, you love ME
Not who I pretend to be
Every day I hear people ask
How I am that don’t wanna know
Anything past “fine and dandy” and it’s
TMI and “I gotta go”
And sometimes I wonder if it’s ever alright
To just be real
To put aside this mask and talk about
Half the things I really feel
But you see who I really am,
Not who I pretend to be
You look past the obvious,
Deep down to the secret heart of me
And you love, you love ME
Not who I pretend to be
You see me, and you love me, you see me…
But you see who I really am,
Not who I pretend to be
You look past the obvious,
Deep down to the secret heart of me
And you love, you love ME
Not who I pretend to be
