It's the worst feeling in the world
That hopeless feeling
The hopelessness that fills your heart
The desire to help them
But you know you can't

She wears this mask
The fake smiles...
They've become what she is not
She's wears this mask so much...
...She's lost sight of who she is

It breaks off a piece of my heart
Every time...
Every time I see her smile,
There are tears gathering in her eyes
She cannot let them fall

She cannot let the tears fall
For if they do, so will she
She is like a rose
As the petals fall off,
She becomes limp over time

She keeps on walking through this life
She can't give up
She needs to take off her masks
Needs to leave her troubles behind
But then again, so do I

The masks need to be peeled away
Thrown to the ground
She needs to feel her self worth
How she is priceless
How she needs to live, if not for her, for me

It's the worst feeling in the world
This helplessness
She is so innocent and sweet
She must not give up
She can not give up
