What If We Were Real Lyrics - 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 somebody 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
