Charades by Maxwell Caulfield Lyrics

I'm all dressed up in my finest attitude
Pretending I don't care
Guess I really messed up trying to be two
When only one heart can be there
Why can't I be just what I am
And speak my love withut any shame
Why can't she see what I am
Is a costumed fool trapped in a tragic game

Charades and pretty lies
They hide what's deep inside me
Charades do disguise
All the love I keep inside me
Charades can't see me
But can you feel the real me
The real me behind my Charades

Oh, please don't mind me
Performing at my hardest
As I paint upon the air
You won't find me
Cause it's a portrait of the artist
As a man who isn't there
Charades and pretty lies
They hide what's deep inside me
Charades do disguise
All the love I keep inside me
Charades can't see me
But can you feel the real me
The real me behind my charades

Can't you feel the real me
Behind my charades
Have I lost the real me
Behind my charades
