The Real Me
I float like a butterfly
I sting like a bee
I do all these things to prevent you from seeing
All the pain and secrets I hide inside
To protect my body, my soul, my mind
I've built barriers, I've built walls
I've done these things to encase all
That keeps me sane, to protect my sanity
All the lies and heartbreak I've fallen victim to
Are blocked out by my personal protection
I'm not easy to figure out
I don't intend to be and I never will be
There aren't many people who know I really am
In order to see me for me, break down my barriers
Knock down my walls, maybe then you'll find out
The true me, the real me
I sting like a bee
I do all these things to prevent you from seeing
All the pain and secrets I hide inside
To protect my body, my soul, my mind
I've built barriers, I've built walls
I've done these things to encase all
That keeps me sane, to protect my sanity
All the lies and heartbreak I've fallen victim to
Are blocked out by my personal protection
I'm not easy to figure out
I don't intend to be and I never will be
There aren't many people who know I really am
In order to see me for me, break down my barriers
Knock down my walls, maybe then you'll find out
The true me, the real me
