My Real Name - 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 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
