The Real Me

Staring at the clock on the wall The seconds, the minutes, the hours, the days Drifting away in my memories The weeks, the years, the decades fade Familiar faces fly by My heart has to try To keep up with all my highs and lows Yet through it all I wonder if the emptiness shows Well who knows I'm holding on to me I know who I am Who I can be Through all life throws my way I am strong of will Don't care what they say Can anyone see the real me Gonna stop pretending To be okay Gonna get out of my head A new start to the day Let my real self come through No more apologies My soul's free Can't you see I'm holding on to me I know who I am Who I can be Through all life throws my way I am strong of will Don't care what they say Can anyone see the real me I'm holding on to me I know who I am Who I can be Through all life throws my way I am strong of will Don't care what they say Can anyone see the real me The real me This is the real me
