What Is Real

I trip over my tongue

And words come out backwards

I say something wrong

Now I want to die

I try to act cool

But my legs are shaking

I look like a fool

Soon I'll start to cry

And I'll cry

And I'll cry until you comfort me

And I'll cry, ooh yes, I'll cry

Will you comfort me?

Break, break, break my bones

Break my boundaries

Break, break all I know

Show me what it means

Not a thing, no

To be king of not showing what you feel

Not a thing, no, no

Not a thing

If you don't show what is real

I try to blend in

I try to take cover

I try different suits

They fit kind of odd

Still try to act cool

But all I discover

Is under my skin

I feel like a fraud

And I'll cry

And I'll cry until you comfort me

Break, break, break my bones

Break my boundaries

Break, break all I know

Show me what it means

Not a thing, no

To be king of not showing what you feel

Not a thing, no, no

Not a thing

If you don't show what is real

Fade away, fade away

All my colors, they lose their shades

And turn to gray

Fade away, fade away

All my colors, they lose their shades

And turn to gray

Break, break, break my bones

Break my boundaries

Break, break all I know

Show me what it means

Not a thing, no

To be king of not showing what you feel

Not a thing, no, no

Not a thing

If you don't show what is real
