Why are you so different when you're with friends
yet when we're alone you let your heart unbend.
You try to act cool; you try to act tough,
but when it's just us, you're none of that stuff.
You act so much different when it's just me.
There's a person inside you I wish they could see.
He's honest and caring and very sincere
I just wish you'd show it when they are near.
I guess what I'm saying is you should always be true,
and if they're true friends, they'll like you for you.
