Playing the Part

i wish that you could see inside my shell
i wish i could remove this mask
worn so long, it became my face
now i don't even know myself
i hid from everything and everyone
unable to deal with the simplest task
terrified of rejection
too wary of others
still nursing wounds
from my last cast of "friends"
it kills me to know
that despite the fact that we're together
you will never really know me at all
just love the man i pretend to be
this make-believe life that i act out
it ***** with my head to know
that the one time i was myself (sorta)
i was called crazy and arrested
now you live with
the best that i can falsely be
and i'll never believe that you could love
the REAL me
i wonder if there's any real left in me
became the role
discarded the soul
just watch as this tired movie unfolds
i wish, for just one second
i could show you the real me
but, i'd only cry when you ran away
just know that somewhere deep inside
i love you with all that is left of my heart
and as long as you promise
to keep loving me
i promise to keep playing the part
