Lyrics:
I'm scared to wander outside major keys
So I sing a song that I wrote just to please
The fools and the fakes, afraid just like me
To be honest

I play my part with a smile painted on
At best I'm a clown, at worst I'm a con
Convincing the crowd and myself nothing's wrong
To be honest

My soul is trembling
Knowing they're listening
But all that I need to be
Is all that you're making me

Chorus
I'm leaving the stage
You can turn my lights down
The curtain is closed
I'm taking my bow
Lord, help me remember
'Cause I forget how
To be honest

I rewrote my story without tragedies
Left out the lines that reveal I am weak
Erased every reason for you to save me
To be honest

My soul is trembling
Knowing they're listening
But all that I need to be
Is all that you're making me
