Lyrics

No one must find the real me
It's something no one should ever have to see
I hide it because I can
Don't tell me about your feelings 'cause I don't give a damn

I act the fool and I laugh too much
This comic front to pretend I'm still in touch

I am an autist
Anyone who knows the real me
Can really hurt me
Don't talk about it, let me be

Never been in love twice
A strong relationship fell 'cause of me
I think I loved her
But I didn't let her find the real me

I act the fool and I laugh too much
This comic front to pretend I'm still in touch

I am an autist
Anyone who knows the real me
Can really hurt me
Don't talk about it, let me be

Knowledge is power
Life is to live
And to know me well is all I have to give

My true self is an emotional wreck
Full of spite and loathing
To show you would make you sad
'Cause you're just the same as me

I act the fool and I laugh too much
This comic front to pretend I'm still in touch
I act the fool and I laugh too much
This comic front to pretend I'm still in touch
I act the fool and I laugh too much
This comic front to pretend it's not too much
