I don't know what you feel no more
When you look in my eyes
I know I'm the same girl who walked out that door
But I'm brand new inside

Maybe what I'm saying ain't true after all
I take it a minute at a time
Maybe all I want is to hold you right now 
With no compromise

This is the real me, breaking down at last
Hey, it's the real me, crawling out of my past
Baby, the real me, wants the real you, so bad

The numbness overcomes me now
Like alcohol and fear
And I want to crawl inside you, baby
But I don't want you near

A woman's her own mystery
Not a shadow of her man
But I'm not a queen inside a mirror no more
I'm not a guard to hold hand

This is the real me, breaking down at last
Hey, it's the real me, crawling out of my past
Baby, the real me, wants the real you, so bad

Well, I've got no answers now
And I don't expect them from you
Thank God for second chances, baby
'Cos there's something I can give to you

And that's the real me, breaking down at last
Hey, it's the real me, crawling out of my past
Baby, the real me, wants the real you, so bad

Yeah, the real me, wants the real you, so bad
