lyrics

I’m A Chameleon

Verse 1
I smile on the outside
Portraying that it’s alright, it’s alright
But deep inside I am dying

I laugh on the outside
Showing that it’s alright, it’s alright
But deep inside I am crying

But one day, in some way
The truth will shine through
Cause one day, in some way
I will show you, that

Chorus
I’m a Chameleon
I’ll be what you want me to be
With colors in the millions
Let you see what you want to see

I’m a Chameleon
I’ll say what you want me to say
Your reality’s my fiction
I’ll play what you want me to play

Change
I live a life filled with compromise
Cause who I really am you’ll only despise

Verse 2
I agree on the outside
Saying that it's alright, it's alright
But deep inside I am lying

I submit on the outside
Showing that it’s alright, it’s alright
But deep inside I’m rebelling

But one day, in some way
The truth will shine through
Cause one day, in some way
I will show you, cause

Chorus
I'm a Chameleon
I'll be what you want me to be
With colors in the millions
Let you see what you want to see

I’m a Chameleon
I’ll say what you want me to say
Your reality’s my fiction
I’ll play what you want me to play

Change
I live a life filled with compromise
Cause who I really am you will only despise.
