It's breaking
The mask I had crafted long ago
The mask is breaking
It's too old to stay perfect

You can see my frown lines
My puffy eyes from crying day and night
My tear stain cheeks
And my shaking body

I can't recraft it at the moment
So you see how broken I am
How you never saw me.

I'm not the perfect princess
I'm not that girl you thought I was
I'm not anything
But that broken girl

Did you know how much I tapped the mask up?
I don't
I had lost count after three

Now that you see the real me
Will you run away scared?
Or will you push me more
Till I disappear

I think the second one
Why would you stop when you saw the real me?
You won't

Can I tell you something
I used to care for you
But now I feel like I'm unable to care
Like caring is to much effort
So now a days I don't

When I fix my mask
It will seem like I care for others
But remember this
I fake it.

I'm a fake
Fake smile
Fake laugh
Fake niceness
Fake... everything

So now you know
You didn't break me
I broke long before I met you
I've been broken for years
And no duct tape will ever fix me.
