Ask my friends what I'm like
They'll tell you I'm always smiling
Ask my parents what I'm like
They'll tell you I'm just a normal girl
Ask my teachers what I'm like
They'll just tell you I'm just really shy
Ask me what I'm like
I'll just tell you I'm too good at pretending
I slip on my mask of smiles and laughter
To hide all the tears and pain
No one will ever know
I'm just far too good at this game
You'll never see the real side of me
You'd have to pay close attention
It's not like anyone cares enough for that to ever happen
Maybe it's a good thing
Maybe it's not
I guess if I don't show you
You'll never see the scars
You'll never see the tears I shed over every little detail
You'll never know what made me like this
You'll never see the truth
I'm never happy when I smile and laugh all day
I'm nowhere close to being a normal girl
In reality I'm tormented and twisted but you'll never see that side of me
I have my mask to hide behind
The true part of me will never be free Because you will never see me for who I really am
