[Intro] (Instrumental) [Verse 1] You keep pulling at the threads Looking for the seam Want to catch the boy inside Something soft, something clean I watch you checking every word Weighing what I say Hoping something doesn't fit Give you cause to look away [Pre-Chorus] Go ahead, step closer Take another look [Chorus] What you see is what you get I don't fold, I don't shake Every line, every angle Not a single thing is fake Peel it back, there's nothing left No surprise beneath the skin What you see is what you get So stop searching for what's never been [Verse 2] They want the speech, the big confession Something raw laid on the table Gave them every face I had None of it held up You want the one who sits there quiet Takes the blame, hangs his head I struck a match to that draft years back He was never there, I am instead [Pre-Chorus] Go ahead, step closer Take another look [Chorus] What you see is what you get I don't fold, I don't shake Every line, every angle Not a single thing is fake Peel it back, there's nothing left No surprise beneath the skin What you see is what you get So stop searching for what's never been [Bridge] There was a kid who changed his voice For every room he walked inside Swallowed down a different name Till none of it survived [Chorus] What you see is what you get I don't fold, I don't shake Every line, every angle Not a single thing is fake Peel it back, there's nothing left No surprise beneath the skin What you see is what you get And I'm done searching for what's never been [Outro] What you see... What you get...
