Don't even look me in the eyes
I knew there was something you were hiding
And dear you took me by surprise
But I can see clearly now
Everyone pretending to be something else
Trying to please
everyone but themselves
I don't know what to do when
I'm giving you the real me
And all you are giving me
Is your shadow
Here I walk down the street
Avoiding everyone I see
Because if I get to close
I might catch their disease
Everyone pretending to be something else
Trying to please
everyone but themselves
I don't know what to do when
I'm giving you the real me
And all you are giving me
Is your shadow
I look at myself in the mirror
Nothing has changed
Just exactly as before
You would see the same if you looked at me
Everyone pretending to be something else
Trying to please
everyone but themselves
I don't know what to do when
I'm giving you the real me
And all you are giving me
Is your shadow
Which mask do you plan to wear today?
I just need to know
Because when I am looking for the real you
I don't want to be confused
Everyone pretending to be something else
Trying to please
everyone but themselves
I don't know what to do when
I'm giving you the real me
And all you are giving me
Is your shadow
