Can I Be Real Lyrics by Brynn Elliott

Can I Be Real

2021

[Intro]
Can I be real? Can I?
Can I say what I feel? Can I?
Can I lay it all bare? Can I?
Open myself up, let you see what's there?

[Verse 1]
I'm a dreamer, an over-thinker
Sentimental, it's detrimental
And I admit it, I've always been it
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
I get headstrong, I get stubborn
I'm obsessive when I want it
Yeah, I admit it, I've always been it
Yeah, yeah (Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm)

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm so used to tryna
Build up my walls and my armor
What's the worst if I don't?

[Chorus]
Can I be real? Can I?
Can I say what I feel? Can I?
Can I lay it all bare? Can I?
Open myself up, let you see what's there?
Can I be real, with ya?
Can I say what I feel, with ya?
Can I lay it all bare, for ya?
Open myself up, let you see what's there?
Can I be real?

[Verse 3]
Opinionated, and I can't fake it
And being cautious, is not an option
And I admit it, so can you take it?
Yeah, yeah (Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm)

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm so used to hiding
Behind a smile, who doesn't?
Is it cool if I don't?

[Chorus]
Can I be real? Can I?
Can I say what I feel? Can I?
Can I lay it all bare? Can I?
Open myself up, let you see what's there?
Can I be real, with ya?
Can I say what I feel, with ya?
Can I lay it all bare, for ya?
Open myself up, let you see what's there?
Can I be real?

[Bridge]
I'm not, holding back, holding back (Ah-ah-ah)
I'm not, holding back, holding back
I'm not, holding back, holding back (Ah-ah-ah)
I'm not, holding back, holding back

[Chorus]
Can I be real? Can I?
Can I say what I feel? Can I?
Can I lay it all bare? Can I?
Open myself up, let you see what's there?
Can I be real, with ya?
Can I say what I feel, with ya?
Can I lay it all bare, for ya?
Open myself up, let you see what's there?
Can I be real?
