The Real Me

I don’t know what you feel no more
When you look in my eyes
I know I’m the same girl who walked out that door
But I’m brand new inside
Maybe what I’m sayin' ain’t true after all
Might take it a minute at a time
Maybe all I want is to hold you right now
With no compromise
This is the real me breakin' down at last
Hey, it’s the real me crawlin' out of my past
Baby, the real me wants the real you so bad
The numbness overcomes me now
Like alcohol and fear
And I want to crawl inside you, baby
But I don’t want you near
A woman’s her own mystery
Not a shadow of her man
But I’m not a queen inside a mirror no more
I’m not a guard to hold your hand
This is the real me breakin' down at last
Hey, it’s the real me crawlin' out of my past
Baby, the real me wants the real you so bad
Well, I’ve got no answers now
And I don’t expect 'em from you
Thank God for second chances, baby
'Cause now there’s something I can give to you
And that’s the real me breakin' down at last
Hey, it’s the real me crawlin' out of my past
Baby, the real me wants the real you so bad
Yea, the real me wants the real you so bad
