Behind the mask

*Title:* "Behind the Mask"

*Verse 1:*

I wish I could be free

From the weight that I carry on me

Happy moments, fleeting fast

But tired eyes, they can't last

*Chorus:*

I'm worried 'bout the true me

Hope you understand, can you see?

Behind this face, I pretend

To cope with the pain that never ends

*Verse 2:*

I put on a smile, a disguise

Afraid to show my real eyes

The world outside, it seems so bright

But in the dark, I'm lost in night

*Chorus:*

I'm worried 'bout the true me

Hope you understand, can you see?

Behind this face, I pretend

To cope with the pain that never ends

*Bridge:*

But what if you knew my heart?

Would you still be there from the start?

I'm trying to be strong and brave

But it's hard when I'm hiding my true self, every day

*Chorus:*

I'm worried 'bout the true me

Hope you understand, can you see?

Behind this face, I pretend

To cope with the pain that never ends

*Outro:*

Maybe someday, I'll find my way

And let my true self shine, come what may

Until then, I'll wear this mask

And hope that someday, I'll find my task
