Lyrics

[Intro]

Can I be real? Can I?

Can I say what I feel? Can I?

Can I lay it all bare? Can I?

Open myself up, let you see what's there?

[Verse 1]

I'm a dreamer, an over-thinker

Sentimental, it's detrimental

And I admit it, I've always been it

Yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

I get headstrong, I get stubborn

I'm obsessive when I want it

Yeah, I admit it, I've always been it

Yeah, yeah (Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm)

[PreChorus]

I'm so used to tryna

Build up my walls and my armor

What's the worst if I don't?

[Chorus]

Can I be real? Can I?

Can I say what I feel? Can I?

Can I lay it all bare? Can I?

Open myself up, let you see what's there?

Can I be real, with ya?

Can I say what I feel, with ya?

Can I lay it all bare, for ya?

Open myself up, let you see what's there?

Can I be real?

[Verse 3]

Opinionated, and I can't fake it

And being cautious, is not an option

And I admit it, so can you take it?

Yeah, yeah (Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm)

[PreChorus]

I'm so used to hiding

Behind a smile, who doesn't?

Is it cool if I don't?

[Chorus]

Can I be real? Can I?

Can I say what I feel? Can I?

Can I lay it all bare? Can I?

Open myself up, let you see what's there?

Can I be real, with ya?

Can I say what I feel, with ya?

Can I lay it all bare, for ya?

Open myself up, let you see what's there?

Can I be real?

[Bridge]

I'm not, holding back, holding back (Ah-ah-ah)

I'm not, holding back, holding back

I'm not, holding back, holding back (Ah-ah-ah)

I'm not, holding back, holding back

[Chorus]

Can I be real? Can I?

Can I say what I feel? Can I?

Can I lay it all bare? Can I?

Open myself up, let you see what's there?

Can I be real, with ya?

Can I say what I feel, with ya?

Can I lay it all bare, for ya?

Open myself up, let you see what's there?

Can I be real?
