| Charade [Pop Ballad] __________________________________________________________________ I try to be everything Which I can't possibly be I yearn for belonging But yet to stay free And how long can I continue, To want something and its opposite? And how long can I continue, To keep up this charade? CHORUS I look happy But I'm not I seem satisfied But I'm no way near It looks like I really know what I want But I've no idea To the outside, I have control On the inside, I'm losing it I wish somebody Would love me I wish somebody would know Who I really am A mirror will show you a true reflectin But what shows a reflection, Of the inside? [Chorus] How long can I keep up this charade? How long will it be, Until somebody sees through me? 'Cause I'm really about to break I can't keep looping this tired tape Somebody see through me Somebody see through me Somebody rescue me From the complexity I'm tired I just want someone to see That I am struggling That I am weak And growing in vulnerability I think I'm ready to let someone in But I need to be loved for me [Chorus x2] � 2005 Roseanne Rogers � Back to Library |
