All I Have
Location
I hide behind an image
it's me but then it's not
the person I am looking at
her self-esteem is shot
she hides behind the make up
her hair is done just right
but this isn't what I look like
on an average weekday night
I'm buried underneath the truth
I'm drowning in a sea
why can't I simply be myself
what do you want from me?
I'm afraid I'd lose you as my friend
I'm afraid I'd be alone
if I was myself today
if only I was known
but we can't hide forever
so I'll wash it all away
every bit of me will show
I'll take this stand today
well, here I am
it's only me
what do you think?
what do you see?
all along I've hid myself
for fear of what you'd say
but I can't do it anymore
I'm coming out today
do you want to be my friend
or do you want to go?
I wouldn't blame you either way
I just need to know
I don't have much to offer
I'm average, can't you see?
all I really have to give you
well, all I have is me
