The Real You (RC)

so i wrote this song last year at this time, but kinda just shoved it off after so long.
it was pretty much the first song i have ever actually completed.
recently i've gotten the urge to start back writing, so i wanted your opinion on it:




[Chorus]
Follow the crowd, don’t go your own way
And every day, make it so fake
So they don’t see the real you,
They’ll never see the real you, anymore

[Verse 1]
You had your chance,
we know how that turned out
So move on,
learn how to live without
All the attention, all the stares
You’re coming down, should I even care?

[Chorus]
So follow the crowd, don’t go your own way
And every day, make it so fake
So they don’t see the real you
They’ll never see the real you anymore

[Verse 2]
So go ahead, live a lie
Don’t look back and don’t wonder why
I act like this; it’s because of you
I gave it a try, but you didn’t come through
I chould have seen this all along
But did what I knew and I stayed strong

[Chorus]
So follow the crowd, don’t go your own way
And every day, make it so fake
So they don’t see the real you
We’ll never see the real you anymore

[Bridge]
I’m tired of these stupid games you play
I gave you my hand but you pushed it away
I never meant for it to end like this
I never meant for it to end like this

[Chorus]
So follow the crowd, don’t go your own way
And every day, make is so fake
So I won’t see the real you
I’ll never see the real you

My advice: don't let this be the last song you write. Keep writing. There's good stuff in there, but this is also a very tired theme. To write on this topic, you need to change it up, be more poetic, and use word pictures. Some topics can be addressed in a straight forward manner, but this is not one of them(anymore).
