Charades lyrics

I`m all dressed up in my finest attitude
Pretending I don`t care.
Guess I really messed up by trying to be two,
When only one heart can be there.
Why can`t I be just what I am,
And speak my love without 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.

(Chorus)

Can`t you feel the real me,
Behind my charades?
Have I lost the real me,
Behind my charades?
