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?

I´m a dreamer, an over-thinker
Sentimental, it´s detrimental
And I admit it, I´ve always been it
Yeah, yeah

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)

I´m so used to tryna
Build up my walls and my armor
What´s the worst if I don´t?

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?

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)

I´m so used to hiding
Behind a smile, who doesn´t?
Is it cool if I don´t?

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?

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

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?
