Facade

I am lost, wondering what's to come Only a dead end in sight Come on, turn red to a green light Looking in even the sharpest turns Seeking the one, the only one, I've ever loved so much Why should I have to hide behind a façade? If I take it off, you would never want me Anyone would take the cheerleader over the nerd any day I've been keeping it up, can I get my pay? If I drop my alter ego, would you still love me? I'll break it in a second and I won't be sorry I don't wanna hide anymore, never wanted to Don't need to be a size two, don't need clothes brand new People should like me for who I am Yawning, I'm tired, but not 'cause of what you think Tired of empty promises in the fools full hands But curious, curious of what I don't know Can I, can I take the wheel And stabilize the critics land Why should I have to hide behind a façade? If I take it off, you would never want me Anyone would take the cheerleader over the nerd any day I've been keeping it up, can I get my pay? If I drop my alter ego, would you still love me? I'll break it in a second and I won't be sorry I don't wanna hide anymore, never wanted to Don't need to be a size two, don't need clothes brand new People should like me for who I am Let the walls come down Let the haters drown If I drop my alter ego, would you still love me? I'll break it in a second and I won't be sorry I don't wanna hide anymore, never wanted to Don't need to be a size two, don't need clothes brand new People should like me for who I am
