At the end of the day,
I hope you know.
You're the one I want there,
when the curtains close.

When the makeup is gone,
my true self to see.
You're the one I want there,
to see the real me.

When I am not acting,
in this childish world.
When I am only me,
a beautifully tragedic girl.

It's never so easy,
it's always so hard.
Everyone always complaining,
they were dealt this card.

I do it always,
and I put on a face too.
But I'm always the real me,
whenever I'm with you.

With them it's a face,
makeup and a smile.
In reality my grin,
hasn't been real in a while.

But you make me smile,
my world is bright.
Everything comes so easy,
it feels so right.

Since you walked in,
my life is perfect.
I feel like the real me,
doing everything I was meant.

They see this change,
in the way I act.
But it's only the real me,
that I've so long lacked.

They don't understand,
what I was before was concealed.
Baby this is me,
this is me and very real.

You understand everything,
you understand me.
It's with you,
I wish to forever be.

I promise forever,
I will always love you.
When I am in your arms,
my world is brightened too.

So at the end of the day,
By now you should know.
You're the one I want there,
when the curtains close...
