The Real Me Inside


 

 

I have a voice but sometimes I feel I should hide it, do people want to hear what I have to say,

Yeah when I’m alone in the middle of the night, I sing to myself,

but do I sound all right, would someone ever want to hear we,

do the words I say matter? Ohhh, when I sing in the middle of the night no one can hear me,

no-one can laugh at me, no-one can see all of the feelings I keep hidden away,

I wonder what they’ll say when they see the real me. Ohhh, what do I do,

do I stay hidden away or do I show the world that there’s more to me?

Will they laugh, or will they like me maybe?

Yeah it’s easy to be me when no-ones looking ohh yeah,

But when there’s a spotlight on me I feel like running away,

ohh I don’t know what to do, should I hide or should I show the real me inside?
