Not the Real You

It's a trick
The person they all see
The girl without a dream
The girl I pretend to be
It's a game
That many people play
With a perfect poker face
Hoping you fold before you can take the chips away

I'm further than I thought
Too involved to get caught
Don't know why I'm trying to be somebody that I'm not
When salt looks like sugar
It's too damn good to be true
Oh I'm not a fool
I know it's not the real you

Something fake is destined to break
And the river's just a river
Don't believe them when they're drowning and they need a hand
And the Many-Faced God
Yeah the writers got it wrong
It's not hard to be no one when it's everyone I know

I'm further than I thought
Too involved to get caught
Don't know why I'm trying to be somebody that I'm not
When salt looks like sugar
It's too damn good to be true
Oh I'm not a fool
I know it's not the real you

And it's not hard to fake it
So don't bring me down
When I make it
Out of this broken façade
And it's not hard to fake it
You can play the part or you can break it
They all care too much

It's not the real you (to fake it)
It's not the real you (when I make it)
It's not the real you (hard to make it)
It's not the real you (when I make it)
It's not the real you (to make it)
It's not the real you (when I make it)
They all care too much
I care way too much
