How could you see the faces I've been hiding by myself
Breathing in quiet spaces, the only place that I have ever felt
I can't pretend to you that I don't feel the way I do
Still I keep my composure
But lately I think they all see straight through
And I could tell you everything
Take down my guard and let you in
Instead of trying to be the perfect me for somebody else, oh
Till I don't recognize myself
Keep trying to be alright but lately I can't stand myself
I get so caught up in my head, wish I could be somebody else
But don't you look away just yet oh cus the best is still to come
Well I just gotta figure out what keeps my heart from going numb
And I could tell you everything
Take down my guard and let you in
Instead of trying to be the perfect me for somebody else, oh
Till I don't recognize myself
