Shes been holding on too long
Hoping Im gonna change
Giving it up just a little bit more
Each time I come home
Looking and acting strange
Putting her down for putting up with me
(chorus)
Be as you are
As you see as I am I am
Be as you are
As you see as I am I am
Do you think you might improve me
Trying to take control
Watching every little thing I do
Just like a bleeding movie
Just like a leading role
Mama, this aint me and I dont
Believe thats you
- chorus -
First you make believe
I believe the things
That you make believe
And Im bound to let you down
Then its I who have been deceiving
Purposely misleading
And all along you believed in me
So we circle around one another
Playing I guessing game
Strangers at this masquerade
Pretending to know each other
We strain to catch a name
And never see the mistakes we must have made
- chorus -
