lyrics
I try to put my heart in it but I just end up feeling stupid
I think that I was meant to be a weird old cat lady
I try to let go and just be myself
Has anyone ever found that helpful, I don’t
Even know who the real me is these days
CHORUS:
I’m on a lyin streak
I didn’t mean to be
I’m hiding I’m hiding I’m hiding
Everything about the real me
Real me
I try to tell you who I am but it just ends up getting twisted
You walk away thinking something that was never what I meant
It was never my idea to go in any closets
People just stuff you in there in tight storage boxes
I fight my way out again and again and still you think it was me who was confused
CHORUS
This isn’t really my life, people make me nervous
This isn’t my real world, this is just a stepping stone
I build my life on truth, still I put on a mask every day
Only until I am strong enough, brave enough to go it alone
CHORUS
I think that I was meant to be a weird old cat lady
I try to let go and just be myself
Has anyone ever found that helpful, I don’t
Even know who the real me is these days
CHORUS:
I’m on a lyin streak
I didn’t mean to be
I’m hiding I’m hiding I’m hiding
Everything about the real me
Real me
I try to tell you who I am but it just ends up getting twisted
You walk away thinking something that was never what I meant
It was never my idea to go in any closets
People just stuff you in there in tight storage boxes
I fight my way out again and again and still you think it was me who was confused
CHORUS
This isn’t really my life, people make me nervous
This isn’t my real world, this is just a stepping stone
I build my life on truth, still I put on a mask every day
Only until I am strong enough, brave enough to go it alone
CHORUS

about
rorie kelly New York
rorie kelly is on a quest to bring her songs to ears around the world through the cunning use of the internet and a small
blue Toyota with over 200,000 miles on it.
rorie writes songs that are melodic and catchy but more thoughtful and introspective than the average pop tune. Her vocals are bigger than you would expect out of her small body and her guitar playing is powerful and percussive.
