"The Real Me" lyrics

It all began a few years back
Been a long time coming I guess
And now you're finally free tonight
Tonight
Seemed like everybody wanted to know you
I mean they knew, but needed to see the real you
And now they do
For better or worse I guess
But at least it's off your chest
A mask that weighed like a bullet proof vest

At night when the stars aligned above me
I drifted to sleep and

Dreamed about the day
That I could be myself again
And walk the way I want to live
No more games to play
Cuz this is the real me
And I am feeling free

I know the weight's lifted off of my shoulders
But I've been so used to being so covert now
Everyone knows my name
Nothing's ever the same
For better or worse I guess
Let the past be the past
I left a mark on the world, I hope I did

At night when the stars aligned above me
I drifted to sleep and

Dreamed about the day
That I could be myself again
And walk the way I want to live
No more games to play
Cuz this is the real me
And I am feeling free

Free, yeah
Free, yeah
I dreamed...
