Lyric

I hated who I was

The face inside the mirror

Not a smile left to show

Not a trace of light

Barely speaking to my family

Just unstable days

Passing by with time

And fading out of sight

So I decided I won’t be me

I’ll play the part they want to see

I’ll take the mask in my hand

Put it on and breathe again

Let the second version of me

Step onto the stage and play

I hated who I was

The face inside the photos

Not a smile left to hold

Not a spark alive

Barely talking to my friends

Every fragile day

Slowly falling down

Until it disappeared

So I decided I won’t be me

I’ll play the part they want to see

I’ll take the mask in my hand

Put it on and breathe again

Let the second version of me

Step onto the stage and play

Wearing the mask, hiding truth

All the feelings locked away

Always fooling everyone

Hurting them, betraying them

Without meaning to

Under the mask, every night

My heart breaks and I cry

Silently alone

But even now

Without this mask

I don’t know how to live as me

So I’ll keep playing the role

From now on, forevermore

I’ll stay behind this fragile mask—

And keep pretending to be whole
