Lyrics
What if we were real, what if we were real
i wanna throw the mask away
Why can t we open our hearts and let everybody see, we keep tryin to make it look so nice We, we keep tryin to make it look so nice
when i ain t even in control
What if we were real, i m tired of saying everything We, what if we were real
and what if we weren t afraid of this crazy mess
But what if i share my brokenness, you ve got to be real Mandisa, but what if i share my brokenness
Why can t we open our hearts and let everybody see, you ve got to
What if you share how you feel, what if we were real, why can t we learn to real
We keep tryin to make it look so nice, sometimes you just wanna scream
Why can t we learn to real, but why does it have to be If, you ve got to be real
You ve got to be real, when i ain t even in control
Why can t we learn to real, but what if i share my brokenness
You ve got to be real, we make it so complicated
We d care about someone else, and we keep hidin what s goin on inside, we keep tryin to make it look so nice
but what if i share my brokenness
But what if i share my brokenness, but why does it have to be, and what if we weren t afraid of this crazy mess
we make it so complicated
what if we were real
we d care about someone else
cause we d know just how they feel
maybe we could let someone love us
And we keep hidin what s goin on inside, when i ain t even in control
and we keep hidin what s goin on inside
I m tired of saying everything, you ve got to be real, and we keep hidin what s goin on inside
Tell me i m not the only one, i feel like i m supposed to say, and what if we weren t afraid of this crazy mess
Cause we d know just how they feel, i m tired of smiling all the time What, sometimes you just wanna scream
We d think a little less of ourselves, we make it so complicated
what if you share how you feel
maybe we d a little more like jesus
And we keep hidin what s goin on inside, we make it so complicated Were, i m tired of saying everything
You ve got to be real, why can t we open our hearts and let everybody see What, we keep tryin to make it look so nice
Tell me i m not the only one, what if we were real Mandisa, what if we were real
And we keep hidin what s goin on inside, i m over actin so strong
And what if we weren t afraid of this crazy mess, what if we were real
Maybe we d a little more like jesus, what if we were real
i think i m gonna let em go
What if you share how you feel, and what if we weren t afraid of this crazy mess Mandisa, why can t we open our hearts and let everybody see
And what if we weren t afraid of this crazy mess, we make it so complicated, and we keep hidin what s goin on inside
What if we were real, what if we were real
Tell me that you feel just like me, why can t we open our hearts and let everybody see
tell me that you feel just like me
I feel like i m supposed to say, we d think a little less of ourselves What, what if we were real
I think i m gonna let em go, maybe we d a little more like jesus
