[Verse 1]
Tell me, Mr. Perfect
What's up with your ego?
Like you're a different person
You're still the same to me though
[Pre-Chorus]
Building walls around you so no one can see
Maybe you don't really need a friend like me
We both know what you are hiding underneath
Tell me, Mr. Perfect
[Chorus]
Why pretend to be something?
Putting on a show
Why pretend that I'm nothing?
A stranger that you don't know
Why pretend you feel nothing?
When I can see that you're low
Why pretend to be somеthing?
Don't know who you're becoming
[Verse 2]
Hey thеre, Mr. Tough Guy
What's up with your silence?
Know it's been a rough time, yeah
You don't need to hide it
[Pre-Chorus]
Tear down all these walls that you put up for me
Can't you take a minute to just stop and breathe?
We both know what you are hiding underneath
Tell me, Mr. Tough Guy
[Chorus]
Why pretend to be something?
Putting on a show
Why pretend that I'm nothing?
A stranger that you don't know
Why pretend you feel nothing?
When I can see that you're low
Why pretend to be something?
Don't know who you're becoming
[Refrain]
I just miss the real you-ou-ou
I just miss the real you-ou-ou
I just miss the way you call me up in the night
Talk about what was on your mind
You used to miss me too
Now I just miss the real you
[Bridge]
Can't you see?
When it's only you and me
You can let your heart bleed
And why pretend to be something? (Something, yeah)
And why pretend you feel nothing? (Hmm, no)
[Refrain]
I just miss the real you-ou-ou
I just miss the real you-ou-ou
I just miss the way you call me up in the night
Talk about what was on your mind
You used to miss me too
Now I just miss the real you
[Outro]
I just miss the real you
I just miss the real you
I just miss the real you
