I'm Really Me, You're Really You

Charly McClain

Sometimes when I'm with you
I forget I should pretend
In the clear light of your honesty
I become my self again
And sometimes we're like children
With no secrets and no pride
As we stand before each other
With nothing left to hide

And I'm really me
And you're really you
As we tear away each lie
And each disguise 'till all that's left is true

And you're really you
And I'm really me
And somehow we're both beautiful
Just the way we're supposed to be

And sometimes I can taste you
In my mind you're bittersweet
As we lie so close together
In the down-thin twisted sheets

Sometimes we're one person
As I hold you in the dark
Nothing left between us
But what we really are

And I'm really me
And you're really you
As we tear away each lie
And each disguise 'till all that's left is true

And you're really you
And I'm really me
And somehow we're both beautiful
Just the way that we're supposed to be

And I'm really me
And you're really you
As we tear away each lie
And each disguise 'till all that's left is true
