My mask is fading.
What am I to do?
Am I to show the world
What is really true?
I do not understand
Why it's happening, to me.
I try to put on a happy face,
But the world is really gettin' to me.
My happy world is fading,
Fading away.
I try to put on my pretty face,
And no one sees who I am.
No one understands
The agony and grief
Deep inside of me,
Hiding beneath my mask.
I keep trying to build myself up,
But I keep falling down.
I've started breaking all the rules,
I don't know what to do..
But hide my agony
Behind the mask that's fading.
It's starting to crack,
I've shown the pain to someone else.
I never expected this to happen,
So why is it? I don't understand.
I know everything's not alright,
But maybe it'll be OK.
My agony is fading.
You never know what lies underneath,
Until it's too late.
Not everyone can wear their mask forever.
My mask is falling to pieces,
As everyone laughs, not knowing the pain I go through,
Trying to put together the pieces of my broken mask.
