It's just an act
We can tell it is
We know who you are
This isn't youYou shouldn't have to act
You shouldn't have to try to fit in
Just be you
Be who you truly areShow us who you really are
Show us how you care
Show us what you like
Show us where you loveLet us be here
Let us love you
Let us have a laugh
Let us see youIt's just an act
We want to see who you really are
We want to treat you better
Just be youBe you
Show everyone you
Care like you do
Love like you doIt's just an act
We can tell it is
We know who you are
This isn't you
