**[Intro]** [dry drum kit, syncopated electric bass, clean electric guitar stabs] **[Verse 1]** [soulful male tenor vocals] Smoke and mirrors I can't see Can't see who you are Why do you hide your Identity from me Though I want you to unmask and show me your true self Like I did for you [falsetto] (like I did for you) [vocal run] Like I did for you Like I did for you [high-pitched vocal ad-lib] I gave you every secret, laid my feelings on the line Opened up completely, gave you all that should be mine But you stay behind the curtain, playing safe and keeping quiet While I'm standing here exposed, feeling lost inside the silence **[Pre-Chorus]** [soulful build with layered vocals] Baby, what you hiding for? I gave my trust, now I need more Don't keep me guessing anymore **[Chorus]** [full band groove, passionate delivery with ad-libs] Show me who you are, let the real you come through I need the truth from your heart, not the version that you choose Show me who you are, drop the mask and be free Like I did for you, now do the same for me (Do the same for me) Show me who you are **[Verse 2]** [smooth tenor with rhythmic phrasing] Every time we get closer, you pull back into your shell Acting like it's nothing, but I know you know it well I shared my deepest wishes, all the dreams I hold inside Now I'm asking for the same, no more places left to hide You smile and say you love me, but your eyes tell something else A distance in your manner, like you're scared to show yourself I want the real connection, not the surface that you give Let's get past the pretending if we want this thing to live **[Pre-Chorus]** [soulful build with layered vocals] Baby, what you hiding for? I gave my trust, now I need more Don't keep me guessing anymore **[Chorus]** [full band groove, passionate delivery with ad-libs] Show me who you are, let the real you come through I need the truth from your heart, not the version that you choose Show me who you are, drop the mask and be free Like I did for you, now do the same for me (Do the same for me) Show me who you are **[Bridge]** [beat strips back to bass and light guitar, intimate vulnerable delivery] I know it's not easy to open up and let it show But love requires courage, more than most of us may know I've been where you are standing, afraid to take the chance But I stepped out and found you, now I'm hoping for the dance [beat builds back in] Don't leave me in the dark, girl Let me see behind the wall... **[Chorus]** [full energy, stacked harmonies and ad-libs] Show me who you are, let the real you come through I need the truth from your heart, not the version that you choose Show me who you are, drop the mask and be free Like I did for you, now do the same for me (Do the same for me) Show me who you are **[Outro]** [vocals stop] [clean electric guitar plays rhythmic staccato chords] [bass and drums continue syncopated groove] [guitar scratch effects] [soft falsetto ad-lib fading] Show me... show me who you are... Like I did for you... (Yeah...)
