I Know What I Want (Charade)

Boy Both Girl
(There's a storm inside of me, it burns and hurts my heart.
But I've never known any different, when did the nightmare start?
Why was I born this way, why me and me alone?
Why have I never been popular, and always been on my own?
If people see something's wrong, they can pretend to care.
But act like you know my struggle, don't you dare.
To someone with no experience, may think I am naive.
But my reflection is a monster, and that's all I believe.
I've lied to people, I've cheated, and I do not deserve friends.
So should I just accept my fate and await the bitter end?
This role that I've adopted is just my own disguise.
The real me may be a demon, but I can't keep up these lies...

I wanna be a hero, wanna be an icon,
I used to have friends, now everybody's gone.
I just need a chance, a chance to change my fate.
To get out of this body, into someone I don't hate.
I can't let this go, I've got to much pride.
And if it puts me 6 feet under then I will proudly die.
You think you know the real me, it was just a masquerade.
All these years of lying and I'm ending the charade.)

[A burning inside me, and my heart's about to break
The only feeling I remember, is feeling heart ache.
I've always tried, to put on a good show.
Knowing if I acted out, everyone would know.
But I made friends, because of all the lies,
But I'd never do it again, cuz it makes me wanna die.
And I still try to but on a smile, try to look brave.
But I'm praying for a hero, I need to be saved.
I did this to myself, there's no one else to blame,
I betrayed my own heart and, I cannot escape the shame
So here's my final stand, I'll give it all I got.
Cuz I know who I am and I know what I want.

I wanna be a hero, wanna be an icon,
I used to have friends, now everybody's gone.
I just need a chance, a chance to change my fate.
To get out of this body, into someone I don't hate.
I can't let this go; I've got to much pride.
And if it puts me 6 feet under then I will proudly die.
You think you know the real me, it was just a masquerade.
All these years of lying and I'm ending the charade.]


(I don't wanna be alone, I just wanna leave.)
[Can someone please save me, I wanna be free]
(Can nobody hear me,) [how dare I be ignored]
(If I die fighting,) [I'll die clutching my sword]
(No one ever knew the real me) [No one ever cared]
(But now I am alone,) [and it's dark and I am scared]
(But if I have to face my monsters,) [I'll stand up to the haunt]
{I will never bow down, cuz I know what I want}

(I wanna be a hero,) [wanna be an icon,]
{I used to have friends, now everybody's gone.}
(I just need a chance,) [a chance to change my fate.]
(To get out of this body,) [into someone I don't hate.]
[I can't let this go;] (I've got to much pride.)
[And if it puts me 6 feet under] (then I will proudly die.)
{You think you know the real me, it was just a masquerade.
All these years of lying and we're ending the charade.}
