What if
If I showed you the real me
Would you like what you saw
If I showed the pain, if I showed the lost
What if on the inside I wasn't loud and mean
What if you knew I just wanted to be seen?
See me, see me I don't want to be ignored
What if I told you The 3rd grade girl still mourns
Just tell me would you judge me if I didn't want to be weAk
Tell me if you'd judge me if I came clean
What if I was hurt and now I hurt too
I guess I learn more from crying then having to face the truth
I know what it's like to be made fun of and teased
I want to help but then I always think
That was me a little bit ago
I guess I contribute to the cycle
So what if I showed you the real me
What if I showed you why I bullied.
Would you accept the answer or walk away
I've stood in my truth and pay the dues
But would you still look at me the same if I told you I wasn't born that way.
