She`s been holding on too
long
Hoping I`m gonna change
Giving it up just a little
bit more
Each time I come home
Looking and acting strange
Putting her down for putting
up with me
(Chorus)
Be as you are
As you see as I am I am
Be as you are
As you see as I am I am
Do you think you might
improve me
Trying to take control
Watching every little thing
I do
Just like a bleeding movie
Just like a leading role
Mama, this ain`t me and I
don`t
Believe that`s you
- Chorus -
First you make believe
I believe the things
That you make believe
And I`m bound to let you
down
Then it`s I who have been
deceiving
Purposely misleading
And all along you believed
in me
So we circle around one
another
Playing a [not
"I"] guessing game
Strangers at this masquerade
Pretending to know each
other
We strain to catch a name
And never see the mistakes
we must have made
- Chorus -
