about

The Real Me is the 4th track from my upcoming EP of the same name. The song is is about people only being interested in you for what you have/what you are but you want them to see the real person inside.

This song has been given a 5* rating by the UK Song Writing Competition and is also through to the semi finals along with 2 of my other tracks Everything You Do and What If I.

lyrics

When you look at me what do you see
Is it the guitar or is it just me and
Where are you when I'm not on the stage
You're over there letting me down again

Is it just the star that you wanted,
All the Fortune and the fame
Is it just the dream that you feel that you needed
Not the reality of the game

I could give you it all but it's not what I need
All I want is for you to be real
Why can't you see
The real star in me
I could give you the world but it's not what I do
I could change it all but to tell you the truth
You will never see
The real star in me, in me

Can I trust you, is it me that you want
Or will you be gone when the spotlight's turned off
Do you feel happy inside these four walls
or do you live for attention and applause

Is it just the star that you wanted,
All the Fortune and fame
Is it the dream that you feel that you needed
Not the reality of the game

I could give you it all but it's not what I need
All I want is for you to be real
Why can't you see
The real star in me
I could give you the world but it's not what I do
I could change it all but to tell you the truth
You will never see
The real star in me

I'm not gonna put myself on the line
You keep playing all these games all the time
I keep showing you the real me
But your promises are fake
Words are too easy to say, too easy to say.

I'm not gonna put myself on the line
You keep playing all these games all the time
I keep showing you the real me
But your promises are fake
Words are too easy to say, too easy to say.

I could give you it all but it's not what I need
All I want is for you to be real
And just see
The real star in me
I could give you the world but it's not what I do
Why can't you tell me the truth
That you'll never see
The real star in me

Why won't you see
The real star in me, in me
