The Real Me

Vs
A shattered heart ripped apart again again 
When does the pain ever stop and the healing begin 
Clock is ticking right in front of me 
Praying for some kind of remedy 
I’m so numb can’t feel anymore 

Chorus
I don’t want to spend the rest of my life pretending to be someone else 
Covering up the best part of me 
Wish I could love myself 

Vs
Used to feel like I was I no good 
I fit the mold in the box like I was told
Spent many nights so cold and alone 
No strength left felt every ache in my bones
Clock is ticking right in front of me 
Praying for some kind of remedy 
Crying out I can’t take anymore 

Chorus
I don’t need to spend the rest of my life pretending to be someone else 
Covering up the best part of me 
Wish I could love myself 
Tired of shame and playing the game 
for the sake of everyone else 
Don’t really care what you say anymore
I already know who I am

Post Chorus
Feels good to be feels good to be free 
No make believe I’m free to be me 
Repeat 
This is me this is the real me
Repeat

Chorus
I don’t need to spend the rest of my life  pretending to be someone else 
Covering up the best part of me keep lying to myself  
So hard to love myself 
Tired of shame and playing the game  
Amusing everyone else 
for the sake of everyone else 
Don’t really care what you say anymore
Not giving in to the lies anymore 
I already know who I am

I don’t need to spend the rest of my life pretending to be someone else 
Revealing to you the best part of me 
Finally found love for myself 


Post Chorus
Feels good to be feels good to be free 
No make believe this is the real me
This is me this is the real me

recorded in the middle of the night for fun, this is just the 2nd run-thru of the song. I wanted it to sound live, as if heard in a smokey blues lounge..

I have been recording and writing music since I was 10 years old. 
I started back with 8 track analog years ago and have since moved into the digital age. I play several instruments and have some music theory training as well. 
I use a few DAWS. I work mainly in Logic. I have training in compression, eq, gain staging, and much more.
