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]
