What If We Were Real - Mandisa

Well, I’m tired of saying everything

I feel like I’m supposed to say

I’m tired of smiling all the time

I wanna throw the mask away

Sometimes you just have a bad day

Sometimes you just wanna scream

Tell me I’m not the only one

Tell me that you feel just like me

We keep tryin to make it look so nice

And we keep hidin' what’s goin on inside

But what if I share my brokenness

What if you share how you feel

And what if we weren’t afraid of this crazy mess

What if we were real

What if we were real

I’m over hidin my tears

I think I’m gonna let em' go

I’m over actin so strong

When I ain’t even in control

We make it so complicated

But why does it have to be

Why can’t we open our hearts and let everybody see

We keep tryin to make it look so nice

And we keep hidin' what’s goin on inside

But what if I share my brokenness

What if you share how you feel

And what if we weren’t afraid of this crazy mess

What if we were real

We’d think a little less of ourselves

We’d care about someone else

'Cause we’d know just how they feel

Maybe we could let someone love us

Maybe we’d a little more like Jesus

Why can’t we learn to real

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (yeah, yeah)

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

We keep tryin to make it look so nice

And we keep hidin' what’s goin on inside

But what if I share my brokenness

What if you share how you feel

And what if we weren’t afraid of this crazy mess

What if we were real

You’ve got to be real

You’ve got to be real

You’ve got to be real

You’ve got to

You’ve got to

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na.
