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 - 71970,-49)

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

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 -
