Well, your world has crumbled down

everyone's watching you now

they've heard your words

and they want to know if you live them yourself

Who are you now?

When everything's peeled away

when you nothing to hide behind

and it's just you.

Maybe you're scared

maybe you're afraid you're not real

but you take a breathe-all you can do

and reveal yourself.

"See," You reply,

"I am real

I live like I say I do

that I never lied to you."

But maybe that's not true

"Sorry," is all you can say

"I was a fake,

but now I'm ready to change."

Who are you now?

When everything's peeled away

when you have nothing to hide behind

and it's just you.
