the real me

i don't know what you feel no more when you look in my eyes

i know i'm the same girl who walked out that door

but i'm brand new inside

maybe what i'm sayin' ain't true after all

i take it a minute at a time

maybe all i want is to hold you right now with no compromise

this is the real me

breakin' down at last

hey

it's the real me

crawlin' out of my past

baby

the real me

wants the real you

so bad

the numbness overcomes me now like alcohol and fear

and i want to crawl inside you

baby

but i don't want you near

a woman's her own mystery

not a shadow of her man

but i'm not a queen inside a mirror no more

i'm not a guard to hold hand

this is the real me

breakin' down at last

hey

it's the real me

crawlin' out of my past

baby

the real me

wants the real you

so bad

well

i've got no answers now

and i don't expect them of you

thank god for second chances

baby

cause there's something i can give to you

and it's the real me

breakin' down at last

hey

it's the real me

crawlin' out of my past

baby

the real me

wants the real you

so bad

baby

the real me

wants the real you

so bad
