Key: D minor
Verse 1
I can't be what you want me to be
But right now there are things
Inside I don't want you to see
So take your personal spotlight
Shine it on someone else for a while
I can't force a happy face or
Makeshift you a smile
Verse 2
What's in front of me
So take your world of
Precious moments of make believe
They never made me believe in anything
But left me with nothing to hold on to
Verse 3
tricks can only
Disguise what I was going through
And now I'm thinkin' it
was when it wasn't
And now I'm tryin' to rationalize
What just doesn't come
together and
Somehow doesn't make sense
But God, how can I convince them
When I'm not even convinced?
Verse 4
nobody's sayin' it
Everyone's sayin' it,
but nobody's feeling it
Everyone's feeling it,
but nobody's seein' it
So how am I supposed to
Verse 5
know what's real?
My security wrapped up in this
These control freaks seek out who they
Can brainwash and make activists
They'd rather have me lie than bring
My failure to the light
Keep your secrets to yourself
Verse 6
Dm
It's not about you but them lookin' right
No time to be ugly
Don't trouble them with
your doubt and fears
Shout for joy little boys and girls
You brokenness ain't welcome here
Well excuse me while I bleed through
And my life becomes see through
Don't ask for transparency but
Verse 7
Reject what you seein' too
but nobody's sayin' it
Everyone is sayin' it, but
nobody's feelin' it
Everyone is feelin' it,
but nobody is seein' it
So tell me, how am I supposed
Verse 8
to know what's real?
everyone is feelin' it
But nobody is seeing it and how
Am I supposed to feel?
How am I supposed to know what's real?
Verse 9
How am I supposed
to know what's real
When I was told and controlled
how to feel?
You tell me now
How am I supposed to
know what's real
When I was told and controlled
how to feel?
Verse 10
How are they gonna know you're real
When we're told and controlled
how to feel
Bb
Dm
Jesus, tell me please
How they gonna know
you're real
When they're controlled and
told how to feel?
You tell me
How am I supposed to know
what's real
When I was told and controlled
how to feel?
Verse 11
How are they gonna know
that you're real
When they're told
and controlled how to feel?
You tell me please
How am I supposed
to know what's real?
How are they supposed
to know what's real?
How are they supposed
to know what's real?
How are you and I supposed
to know?
Verse 12
How am I supposed to feel?
How am I supposed to
