Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You wore it like a second skin
A polished smile, a paper grin
Same old story, same old stage
Locked in a frame, stuck in a cage
You said, "I'm fine," but your hands shook hard
Careful steps across your yard
One foot out, one foot back
Hoping nobody sees the crack
[Pre-Chorus]
What if they look right through?
What if they want the truth?
Your heart keeps saying, "Go"
Your fear says, "Hold it close"
[Chorus]
Behind the mask, behind the mask
How long can you last like that?
Behind the mask, behind the mask
You want to break, then pull it back
Say my name, say it slow
I don't know which way you'll go
Behind the mask, behind the mask
How long can you last like that?
[Verse 2]
Mirror light on a Tuesday night
Half your face in hard white light
You trace the lines you made to hide
Then catch your own eyes and don't look twice
You crave the ache of letting go
But every risk feels like a blow
Still your voice keeps cutting through
Soft and fierce, and breaking you
[Pre-Chorus]
What if they look right through?
What if they want the truth?
Your heart keeps saying, "Go"
Your fear says, "Hold it close"
[Chorus]
Behind the mask, behind the mask
How long can you last like that?
Behind the mask, behind the mask
You want to break, then pull it back
Say my name, say it slow
I don't know which way you'll go
Behind the mask, behind the mask
How long can you last like that?
[Bridge]
Take it off
Take it off tonight
If you fall
You might still be all right
One small scar
One real breath
Better to live
Than hold your chest
[Final Chorus]
Behind the mask, behind the mask
How long can you last like that?
Behind the mask, behind the mask
You want to break, then pull it back
Say my name, say it slow
I don't know which way you'll go
Behind the mask, behind the mask
How long can you last like that?
Behind the mask, behind the mask
I can see the light you lack
Behind the mask, behind the mask
You don't have to wear it back
Say my name, say it true
All you are is coming through
Behind the mask, behind the mask
How long can you last like that?
