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.
