What If We Were Real
Well, I'm tired of saying everything I feel
Like I'm supposed to say
I'm tired of smiling all the time
I wanna throw the mask away
Sometimes you just have a bad day
Sometimes you just wanna scream
Tell me I'm not the only one
Tell me that you feel just like me
We keep trying
To make it look so nice
And we keep hiding
What's going on inside
But what if I share my brokenness
What if you share how you feel?
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess?
What if we were real? What if we were real?
I'm over hiding my tears
I think I'm gonna let 'em go
I'm over acting so strong
When I ain't even in control
We make it so complicated
But why does it have to be?
Why can't we open our hearts
And let everybody see?
We keep trying
To make it look so nice
And we keep hiding
What's going on inside
But what if I share my brokenness
What if you share how you feel?
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess?
What if we were real?
We'd think a little less of ourselves
We'd care about somebody else
'Cause we'd know just how they feel
Maybe we could let someone love us
Maybe we'd be a little more like Jesus
Why can't we learn to be real?
We keep trying
To make it look so nice
And we keep hiding
What's going on inside
But what if I share my brokenness
What if you share how you feel?
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess?
What if we were real?
Just meant to be real
Just meant to be real
Just meant to be real
Just meant to, just meant to
Like I'm supposed to say
I'm tired of smiling all the time
I wanna throw the mask away
Sometimes you just have a bad day
Sometimes you just wanna scream
Tell me I'm not the only one
Tell me that you feel just like me
We keep trying
To make it look so nice
And we keep hiding
What's going on inside
But what if I share my brokenness
What if you share how you feel?
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess?
What if we were real? What if we were real?
I'm over hiding my tears
I think I'm gonna let 'em go
I'm over acting so strong
When I ain't even in control
We make it so complicated
But why does it have to be?
Why can't we open our hearts
And let everybody see?
We keep trying
To make it look so nice
And we keep hiding
What's going on inside
But what if I share my brokenness
What if you share how you feel?
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess?
What if we were real?
We'd think a little less of ourselves
We'd care about somebody else
'Cause we'd know just how they feel
Maybe we could let someone love us
Maybe we'd be a little more like Jesus
Why can't we learn to be real?
We keep trying
To make it look so nice
And we keep hiding
What's going on inside
But what if I share my brokenness
What if you share how you feel?
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess?
What if we were real?
Just meant to be real
Just meant to be real
Just meant to be real
Just meant to, just meant to
