The real me

I don't know what you feel no more when you look in my eyes
I know I'm the same girl who walked out that door
But I'm brand new inside
Maybe what I'm sayin' ain't true after all
I take it a minute at a time
Maybe all I want is to hold you right now with no compromise

This is the real me, breakin' down at last
Hey, it's the real me, crawlin' out of my past
Baby, the real me, wants the real you, so bad

The numbness overcomes me now like alcohol and fear
And I want to crawl inside you, baby, but I don't want you near
A woman's her own mystery, not a shadow of her man
But I'm not a queen inside a mirror no more
I'm not a guard to hold hand

This is the real me, breakin' down at last
Hey, it's the real me, crawlin' out of my past
Baby, the real me, wants the real you, so bad

Well, I've got no answers now
And I don't expect them of you
Thank God for second chances, baby
Cause there's something I can give to you

And it's the real me, breakin' down at last
Hey, it's the real me, crawlin' out of my past
Baby, the real me, wants the real you, so bad
Baby, the real me, wants the real you, so bad
