The Real You

 

I don’t know

It seems there must be

A much more honest way

For you to get what you want

You tell all these girls

They are the one -

The answer to your dreams

You wine and dine them

Sweep them off their feet

And you promise them

All the pretty things

Just like you know they would

(For how could they resist)

They fall for you

And even though you rationalize

Everyone got what they wanted

It’s a lie

I watch you do this over and over

And wonder if you ever question

How things could be if

You just stop hiding

And be yourself

They don’t need your empty words

They don’t want to fall in love

With an illusion

You are enough

The real you

I’ve seen you

You are good enough

Honestly
