Love Me for Me

Would they love me for me? Would they love me for me? If they know who I be? I been gone for too long I don’t know right from wrong I don’t know right from left Keep it close to the chest Thought this thing would be better I just made more of a mess I don’t know what I want anymore I don’t want this stress I look better I know Keep the real on the low I keep ten on the floor I keep that on the roll I keep wishing for more I keep one for the slip I keep one on my hip But I quiet my lips Can’t let 'em see what I really think Anxiety has got me on the brink Paranoia getting a little annoying But I can’t stop, gotta keep the love flowing Keep the mood going It’s all facade, but they can’t know it Cuz I don’t think they want the real me Not the real me, nah he annoying At least that’s what they always told me If it’s different now, then someone show me Maybe I could open up slowly Naw I can’t do it, that’s the old me They gonna fold me I’ll be lonely They don’t know me Get the rope please Sorry ma I let em control me Sorry momma I let em control me Still don’t know no peace Still can’t rest with ease But I’m living the dream Am I living the dream? Would they love me for me? Would they love me for me? Would they love me for me? Would they love me for me? Still don’t know no peace Still can’t rest with ease But I’m living the dream Am I living the dream? Would they love me for me? Would they love me for me? Would they love me for me? Would they love me for me? One day I’ll break free One day I’ll be me In the meantime, imma be fine With the fake, that’s a big lie Stuck up in the grime Cuz this snake got a hold of me Up in my mind Self hate But I’m straight mime I don’t say a word, cuz I’m great I don’t breathe much, I don’t need much But a mate Going big time need my own show Ricki Lake With a can of hairspray Flamethrower just blew through the airways Now I’m suffocating in my own skin I’ll die before I let you in I really want to let you in But I can’t even tell my own kin How could I tell you then If I can’t even tell my own kin? Double life living Super duper trife living Think I’m reaching my limit I don’t know if I can win it Need a new beginning I don’t want to see the ending Yeah I see you grinning You just gave me what I wishing for Now I’m bottom floor I can’t take no more Things that I abhor Mirror image lord Lonely dude In this crowded room Can’t let myself bloom Feel like myself doomed Still don’t know no peace Still can’t rest with ease But I’m living the dream Am I living the dream? Would they love me for me? Would they love me for me? Would they love me for me? Would they love me for me? Still don’t know no peace Still can’t rest with ease But I’m living the dream Am I living the dream? Would they love me for me? Would they love me for me? Would they love me for me? Would they love me for me?
