The Real Me - Johnny Adams

No one ever saw

Or wanted to see

The real me

I was hiding

And sometimes sliding

From the real me

No one ever found a reason

To take a moment or a season

To find the real me

The real me

No one ever knew

Or wanted to know

The real me

When you stood beside me

And somehow got inside me

And you found the real me

You got through all the surprises

All those defenses and disguises

And found the real me

The real me

Your gentle touch made me strong

Showed me the strength that I had all along

And you made all of those tangled pieces unwind

When you found the real me

The real me

When I look in the mirror

I no longer see

The man I used to be

Now looking back at me

All I ever see

Is the real me

All I ever see

Is the real me
