I cheat, I lie, but I’ve yet to steal.
I'm frontin, I act fake, but I'm trying to be real.
See I'm hiding behind what I'm pretending to be.
This beautiful, heartless guy who just wants to be free.
I'm seLfiSh and stubborn, and I can be a mess.
And I’ve done stupid things to be relieved of my stress.
I spend hours in the mirror perfecting my mask.
I get confused and corrected with questions unasked.
I turn heads, I break necks, but I've torn apart hearts.
I know it but I fail and I don’t act very smart.
I'm shy and I'm quiet until I'm introduced.
I have a guilty conscience and I feel easily used.
I'm broken and empty, and downtrodden throughout.
I'm negative and angry, and I'm quick to doubt.
I’ve lost friends and I’ve let go but I keep my head high.
I get distracted and lazy and sometimes fail to try.
But if looked past the fake smile I can be a grEat friend.
The kind who holds on, and will fight till the end.
And when givin the strength I can succeed.
Live up to my best, and I wont cry till it bleeds.
And if I find the courage, Ill erase the fear within me.
Ill stand my ground when everyone tries to run free.
I can be shady and foolish and sometimes misleading.
And Ill give up on answers when deep down I'm pleading.
Nobody is perfect everyone makes mistakes.
Everyone is fragile, everybody breaks.
I deal with myself well, that problem has been fixed.
Tangled in emotions, my thoughts being Mixed.
I smile, I laugh, I frown and I cry.
I love and I hate and I never know why.
And if you need to know more, don’t bother to ask.
I'm just a guy, strengthened by his past.
And when it gets down to it, Ill say what I feel.
Yeah this is me, I'm brutally real--
