calm, pop
[Intro]
0:00
[verse]
0:12
At home I wear a face they know,
0:12
A mask that hides what I can’t show,
0:15
They say, “Be strong, be like a man,”
0:18
But they don’t see where I began.
0:21
I laugh along, I play the part,
0:24
But silence echoes in my heart,
0:27
I pray at night they’ll understand,
0:31
The real me just wants to stand.
0:34
[chorus]
0:37
Behind my smile, there’s a truth I hide,
0:37
A storm that’s raging deep inside.
0:40
In a world that tells me who to be,
0:43
Can’t they see, this is me?
0:46
Someday I’ll stop pretending so,
0:50
Someday I’ll let the real me show.
0:53
Behind my smile, I’m breaking free —
0:56
Someday they’ll see… the real me.
1:00
[verse]
1:03
At school they talk of love and rights,
1:03
But whispers fill the sleepless nights.
1:09
My friends they hold my secret near,
1:12
Their warmth can chase away my fear.
1:15
At work I stand, I try to blend,
1:18
But dreams are hard when hearts pretend.
1:21
I see a world that’s torn in two,
1:24
Old ways fading, new dreams breakthrough.
1:27
[chorus]
1:31
Behind my smile, there’s a truth I hide,
1:31
A storm that’s raging deep inside.
1:34
In a world that tells me who to be,
1:37
Can’t they see, this is me?
1:40
Someday I’ll stop pretending so,
1:43
Someday I’ll let the real me show.
1:46
Behind my smile, I’m breaking free —
1:50
Someday they’ll see… the real me.
1:53
[bridge]
1:57
And if love is love, then why must I hide?
1:57
Why can’t my truth stand side by side?
2:02
With faith, with hope, with family —
2:05
Can’t they just love the real me?
2:07
[chorus]
2:11
Behind my smile, I find my voice,
2:11
This time I’ll make my own choice.
2:14
No more shadows, no disguise —
2:16
I’ll live the truth behind these eyes.
2:20
Someday they’ll see, what’s meant to be —
2:23
The real me… is finally free.
2:29
Behind my smile…
2:33
I’m finally free.
