Do You Feel For Real

 

Why can’t you look at me straight in the eye

For every occasion there’s a different disguise

But going beyond your expression reveals

The genuine way that you really feel

 

Do you feel for real

Do you feel for real

 

You always come on with that painted on smile

Hiding behind a plastic mask all the while

But I can’t help from clearly seeing through

The image you’re trying to project as you

 

Do you feel for real

Do you feel for real

 

Break through the surface and look inside yourself

Find out what being real is all about

 

You dress the part for any scene

Saying things that you don’t even mean

Sure to wish your best but it’s all just a line

‘Cause you’re telling me something else with your eyes

 

Do you feel for real

Do you feel for real

 

What you claim as being important to you

One would never guess by the things you do

Always trying to impress someone else

For once you could just try being yourself

 

Do you feel for real

Do you feel for real

 

Using people like it's all just a game

Not even caring if you’ve caused someone pain

You smile in my face then talk behind my back

But you’re just hurting yourself with your transparent act

 

Break through the surface and look inside yourself

Find out what being real is all about

 

Your friendships only go as deep as their name

‘Cause you’re only interested in what you can gain

Always trying to sell me on some hollow dream

You keep on talkin’ but you don’t say a thing

 

Do you feel for real

Do you feel for real
