Mask

Why is it so hard to make up your mind

Why is it so hard for me to decide

How to act, how to look, every single day

What to do what to say

No flaws no fears

Just a mask

Hiding my true self

I could take it off

But who says I want to?

I could be my true self

But would I really shine through?

For every good thought there's always a bad

For every good day, there's always a sad

That's why I wear a mask

To stay secure, to stay safe

To not let my true feelings get in the way

No one knows no one cares

About my other self

And I'll keep it that way, I'll make the mask stay

No matter what it takes



And if you find out I know what you'll ask

You'll say why do you even wear a mask

You'll say what does it do

You'll say how does it help.

I'll say you don't know the real me

And if you did you'd want to flee

That's why I can't be free

Never ever

I walk through the halls

With my fake fake friends

I walk through my school

Wanting the day to end

I know I'm not happy like this

But I don't want to take the risk

Of being discovered

Of being uncovered

I'll make myself be happy

No matter what it takes

I'll banish my true self

I'll send it far away



You came to my house today

To stay here for the day

I hid all my stuff

Than put it back out

I think I'll just give up

Hiding around you

I told myself I would

And now I'm keeping my promise

I told myself I would

That I'd finally be honest

Than you walk in

And I shut my eyes

Trying so hard to desperately hide

You look at my room, you look at me

Than you come over

And hug me like crazy

I stand there in shock

Not knowing what to do

I've finally found someone who accepts me

And I always wanted it to be you...



Now I'm happy

I'm truly happy

Knowing I'll never see my mask again

Knowing that I finally have a true friend

I always imagined this day

And every times it's different

But this day when you came

Surpassed my wildest dreams, surpassed all my wishes

I never thought I never dreamed

That my true self would shine through

But it has and it is

Every single day, every single hour

You love me for me

Every time I think that

I almost start crying

Now I'm truly happy

Never ever sad

Not now that I know

That I can be who I want to be

That I can finally be free.
