The You That's Really You

(album: Say What You Feel - 2005)

Well, you did it again, showed up in a red dress
When you'd rather be in Levis and some funky old shoes
Dressing up for someone, trying to make an impression
So he doesn't have a notion of the real you

Turning and twisting, hiding in corners
Never believing what you got is enough
But how can he love you if he never sees you
For the you that's really you, not the you that's in love?

Love is a strange thing, love makes you willing
To be a chameleon for the sake of your heart
Makes you keep as a secret what you are on the inside
While your instinct is screaming this is no place to start

Turning and twisting, hiding in corners
Never believing what you got is enough
But how can he love you if he never sees you
For the you that's really you, not the you that's in love?

We all know fear of rejection is a human thing
But in the shadows love will never really bloom
Unless there's honesty
That's all it really needs

So turn all the lights on, let go of pretences
And run with the chances, just be who you are

Stop turning and twisting, hiding in corners
Never believing what you got is enough
Cos how can he love you if he never sees you
For the you that's really you, not the you that's in love?
Yeah, how can he love you if he never sees you
For the you that's really you, not the you that's in love?
