(Verse 1) Somedays you feel you’re not you inside, Time to face the pain of what resides, Years go by, they say you’re not “right,” Struggles—beneath my skin, a silent fight. (Chorus) What you see as fakin’ Is me—only me pretendin’ I can’t let you see the real me You wouldn’t understand, My heart beats deep for you, It says what words can’t. It’s expression, not deception, It’s survival, not confusion. (Verse) Years go by you say I’m broken But you didn’t listen to what was within, Instead you turned away—a blind eye, You say “let it ride it’ll be okay”—inside I DIE! (Chorus) What you see as fakin’ Is ME—only me pretendin’ I know who I am, I know where I begin, I know where I end, it’s my heart To express what words can’t. (Verse) Too emotional, fingers point—“unstable” Too calm, you’re not real just “cold” inside. Too direct, too strong— too “aggressive” Too symbolic, too passionate—your “disruptive” (Chorus) It’s truth in motion, (motion…) It’s my devotion, Not complication but, Self-preservation, OHH! (Bridge) The problem was never you! The problem is a world that Puts up walls—living fast internal combat. Doesn’t take time to understand that Or the hand you were dealt Or where your truth stands, ohhh. (Final chorus) That fight in you is strength tryin’ Not weakness it’s yourself cryin’, Self-preservation, (preservation) Self-protection, Self-determination, OHH! (Outro) In the end, begin again and again, But you are just fine as you are, Don’t change a single thing, You’re fine as you are, someone I would call a friend…. Ohhh…
