I have done many things,
To be who you think I am,
I have borrowed clothes,
Shoes and handbags,
Money to make my hair and do make up,
You have known me as an outgoing girl,
But honestly,
That’s not me,
I love the quiet of my little house,
I don’t have that kind of money to buy expensive clothes and jewels,
It’s all been an act,
I just didn’t know what to do to win your heart,
Now I can’t do this no more,
I miss being me,
I’m tired of living a double life,
I’m tired of being someone else,
I’m tired of living a lie,
I want you to know me as I really am,
I want you to love me as me,
I want you to see the beauty beneath what you see,
I want to be me,
But if you can’t love me as I truly am,
I’m sorry I have to let you go.
