V1 :
Walking alone in the world.
With a smile plastered on your face.
Trying to soak up all of the sun.
Just to burn the darkness away,
Putting on all these different cloaks.
To disguise the scarred parts.
They'll judge the most.
While trying to swallow.
So you don't choke.
Using anything to keep you going in this life.
Pre-Chorus :
Broken, battered, bruised.
Hiding it all, what they did to you.
Chorus :
The pain is masked with smiles and lies.
"If I fake it enough, I'll make it."
"So I'll be alright."
Unbeknownst to you, out of everyone.
I see you.
Coughing up lies to cover the secrets.
Under your sleeves.
Smiling as they watch you bleed.
But don't worry, no matter what.
I will save you.
V2 :
Putting up a fight as you walk in the light.
Because you've been in the dark for so long.
Wasted years, tears, and time.
While walking on the thin line.
That's about to break.
Like the mask you made.
Being pushed to the edge.
While you're lying in your bed.
'Cause nobody even noticed.
That you've been gone.
Gone for so long.
Chorus :
The pain is masked with smiles and lies.
"If I fake it enough, I'll make it."
"So I'll be alright."
Unbeknownst to you, out of everyone.
I see you.
Coughing up lies to cover the secrets.
Under your sleeves.
Smiling as they watch you bleed.
Bridge :
If you feel like you're invisible.
Like no one sees you at all.
I see you, I do see you.
If you feel like you gotta do.
What you have to.
I'll save you.
If you feel like you're nothing.
That you aren't worth something.
Please don't believe those lies.
I'll prove it tonight by saving you.
Saving you!
Chorus :
The pain is masked with smiles and lies.
"If I fake it enough, I'll make it."
"So I'll be alright."
Unbeknownst to you, out of everyone.
I see you.
Coughing up lies to cover the secrets.
Under your sleeves.
Smiling as they watch you bleed.
But don't worry, no matter what.
I will save you.
Chorus (Closing + Acapella) :
The pain is masked with smiles and lies.
"If I fake it enough, I'll make it."
"So I'll be alright."
Unbeknownst to you, out of everyone.
I see you.
Coughing up lies to cover the secrets.
Under your sleeves.
Smiling as they watch you bleed.
But don't worry, no matter what.
I will save you.
