My Real Name Lyrics

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 light
You help me
Let go
Maybe I can make it
Maybe I can make it
You push me
To grow
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 look in
Deep in their eyes
Won't need to hide
Behind my disguise
You help me
Let go
Maybe I can make it
Maybe I can make it
You push me
To grow
Maybe I can make it
Maybe I can make it
When on a losing streak
And I'm feeling blue
I can read this letter
Think of you
Think of you
You help me
Let go
Maybe I can make it
Maybe I can make it
You help me
Let go
Maybe I can make it
Maybe I can make it
You push me
To grow
Maybe I can make it
Maybe I can make it
