lyrics

Are people asking for the truth?
Are people begging to be lied to?
When all the acts have got it
When your voice is weak and frail
We begin to wonder

Why they won't
Why they won't
Ask for the real you
Why they don't
Why they don't
Care about what you do

In the spotlight you're alone
People want what people know
You carry all the fear so
You have a place to call home
Where we can sit and wonder

Why they won't
Why they won't
Ask for the real you
Why they don't
Why they don't
Care about what you do

Why they feel
Why they feel
It's better when it ain't true
Why they won't
Why they won't
Ask for the real you
Ask for the real you

Why they won't
Why they won't
Ask for the real you
It's more fun when it ain't true

When the time comes to unveil
And all the acts have gotten stale
We begin to wonder
We begin to wonder

Why they won't
Why they won't
Ask for the real you
Why they don't
Why they don't
Care about what you do

Why they feel
Why they feel
It's better when it ain't true
Why they won't
Why they won't
Ask for the real you
Ask for the real you

Why they won't
Ask for the real you
