Who I Am

(álbum: Who I Am - 1988)

I'm afraid to show you who I am
'Cause you might not like who I am
And that's all that I really have

I'm afraid to show the real me
'Cause you might not like what you see
And that's all that I have to give

I still hear that desperate cry
Like waves of words that never die
You and I afraid to be real
Never showing how we really feel

You get close
But not too near
Why does being close wake up your fear
I'm your friend can't you see
All I want from you is your honesty

You're not alone out there
People like you everywhere
All crying inside
I feel what their eyes say

I'm afraid to show you who I am
'Cause you might not like who I am
And that's all that I really have

I'm afraid to show the real me
'Cause you might not like what you see
And that's all that I have to give

You build a wall
Around your heart
But soon the isolation tears you apart
You walk I fine line
Trying to break through
Wondering if they'll ever touch the real you

Let go I'm here by your side
How long do you want to hide
Ah you're crying inside
I feel what your eyes say

I'm afraid to show you who I am
'Cause you might not like who I am
And that's all that I really have

I'm afraid to show the real me
'Cause you might not like what you see
And that's all that I have to give

I'm afraid to show you who I am
'Cause you might not like who I am
And that's all that I really have

I'm afraid to show the real me
'Cause you might not like what you see
And that's all that I have to give

I'm afraid to show you who I am
'Cause you might not like who I am
And that's all I really have

I'm afraid to show the real me
'Cause you might not like what you see
And that's all that I have to give

I'm afraid to show you who I am
'Cause you might not like who I am
And that's all that I really have
