My Real Name Lyrics - Show Your Colors - Genevieve

Before you go 

I just want you to hear this 

I never told you 

What my real name is 

When I was young I would play defense 

'Cause in my home love was a contest 

But when you're looking deep in my eyes 

All of the nightmares turn into lights 

You helped me let go 

Maybe I can make it, maybe I can make it 

You pushed me to glow 

Maybe I can make it, maybe I can make it 

Traded my sword in for my spirit 

I'd rather die than give up my freedom 

One of these days I will have children 

I'll teach them to question and to be fearless 

And when I'm looking deep in their eyes 

Won't need to hide behind my disguise 

You helped me let go 

Maybe I can make it, maybe I can make it 

You pushed me to glow 

Maybe I can make it, maybe I can make it 

When I'm on a losing streak 

And I'm feeling blue 

I can read this letter 

Think of you 

Think of you 

You helped me let go 

Maybe I can make it, maybe I can make it 

You helped me let go 

Maybe I can make it, maybe I can make it 

You pushed me to glow 

Maybe I can make it, maybe I can make it
