Masks We Wear

Oh, oh, here we go now

In this masquerade of smiles

I’m learning how to play the game

With a heart wrapped up in denial

Stolen moments on a crowded street

I nod and smile, can’t feel my feet

You think you see me, but I’m just a ghost

Carrying secrets I’ll never host

And here comes trouble, wearing that grin

Bad girl logic swirling in the din

I play my part, crafted with care

Inside I’m screaming, but they’re unaware

Oh, I wear a mask of conversation

Dancing in this twisted station

Heart of ice, but I act like fire

Caught up in the game of desire

She crosses paths like a midnight dream

Wild and fierce, bursting at the seams

But the truth is buried, too deep to explore

With every laugh, I’m aching for more

Words like silk slide off my tongue

While the silent war inside is young

I keep the chaos bottled tight

She’ll never know it’s all a fight

Oh, I wear a mask of conversation

Dancing in this twisted station

Heart of ice, but I act like fire

Caught up in the game of desire

So hold your breath, play it down

A charade in this lonely town

I’m just a shadow, giving no sign

Pretending like the world’s truly fine

But I keep on dancing, under the moonlight

Feigning a romance that feels so right

Just a bad girl glued to the groove

In this shallow game, I play to amuse

Oh, oh, just to amuse.
