Hiding your feelings & yourself inside   Because you're afraid to express them   And lose your pride   But why try to be someone you're just not   Why keep hiding, letting the real you rot      Yes, you're afraid to get caught off gaurd   Because you don't know how they'll think   (Is he 'soft' or 'hard')   But does it really matter, does it really bother you?   To try to be someone else, a fool leading   Yourself on to (a life that's not for you)      Can't you act and be yourself   Not another character in a hardcore handbook   Well, we don't need anymore great american heroes   But real people being themselves, not weirdos
