As the sun begins to rise
Who will the world see?
Another face I put in place
Or someone in between?
Hiding who I am
Not letting people know
Who the real man is
Behind the face I show
Every step I take today
Feels like walking air
Holding back the truth inside
Behind the mask I wear
We hide behind a painted smile
Pretending we're okay
Covering every crack inside
That slowly eats away
Every scar we never share
Every silent prayer
Every truth we're scared to show
It's the mask we wear
I wear a mask so I can hide
The pain that grows inside
No one sees the war I fight
The tears I keep inside
Walking through a crowded room
But feeling all alone
Every laugh I give away
Hides a heart of stone
Every word I say out loud
Carefully prepared
Guarding every fragile truth
Behind the mask I wear
We hide behind a painted smile
Pretending we're okay
Covering every crack inside
That slowly eats away
Every scar we never share
Every silent prayer
Every truth we're scared to show
These are the masks we wear
What if we let the walls fall down?
Show the world our scars
Maybe we were never meant
To hide who we are
We hide behind a painted smile
Pretending we're okay
Covering every crack inside
That slowly eats away
Every scar we never share
Every silent prayer
Every truth we're scared to show
These are the masks we wear
