Dress Up

[Verse 1]

Looking in the mirror again

Trying to quiet the voices in my head they say something’s wrong, telling me to stop playing along.

When I know who I see doesn’t match the real me.

But without it where oh where would I be?

Where oh where would I be?

If she’s not me

[Chorus]

Oh what am I supposed to say

This feeling won’t go away

And I don’t think I can play dress up

Anymore, no I can’t close this door

It’s getting hard to ignore

[Verse 2]

Mama says it’s ok to be who you are

Go chase the shooting stars

I just don’t wanna break her heart

Besides it fits almost halfway

So I think I could stay

(Could I stay?)

[Chorus]

Oh what am I supposed to say

This feeling won’t go away

And I don’t think I can play dress up

Anymore, no I can’t close this door

It’s getting hard to ignore

[Bridge]

I look pretty in this dress

But I don’t feel my best

There’s still a feeling deep inside my chest

That I could be more

Maybe it’s ok to explore

Feel a little unsure

[Chorus]

Oh I don’t know what to say

But this feeling just won’t go away

I’m sure

Mama I can’t play dress up anymore

And no I won’t be a man and maybe I don’t have a plan but

Mama I can’t play dress up anymore

[Outro]

I’m too old to dress up anymore

Sat by the lockers gathering dust

Eulogizing us

Don’t ever wanna be seen by someone

So clear

Can’t hide my fears then

And what happens when

I face myself

My inner hell

Will it be a funny story I tell?

Or will the truth be too hard to bear

What if I don’t wanna know

Where the darkness goes

I’m getting sick now

I won’t know how

To start up a conversation with you

The words rust in my throat

Just when I think I’ll choke

It passes right by you

Am I feeling relief or regret?

Has missing you gotten old yet?

I just wanna forget you

Instead of hoping I make you sick too
