[Verse 1]
I paint my face in the mirror
Before the world sees through
Smile like it’s easy
When I don’t know what to do
Hands on the sink in the morning
Heart kicking like a drum
I wear the brave expression
But I’m not anyone
[Pre-Chorus]
One more step, one more lie
I keep it locked up tight
Say I’m fine, say I’m fine
Then I flinch at my own eyes
[Chorus]
Behind the mask
I keep coming back
Behind the mask
I’m splitting in half
Tell me who I am
When the truth comes fast
I’m tired of the glass
Behind the mask
[Verse 2]
I laugh at the crowded table
Like I belong there too
But every word is borrowed
And every breath comes through
I keep my name in the shadows
Keep my hurt off-screen
If I let the seam break open
Would you still look at me?
[Pre-Chorus]
One more step, one more lie
I keep it locked up tight
Say I’m fine, say I’m fine
Then I flinch at my own eyes
[Chorus]
Behind the mask
I keep coming back
Behind the mask
I’m splitting in half
Tell me who I am
When the truth comes fast
I’m tired of the glass
Behind the mask
[Bridge]
If I drop it, I might shake
If I keep it, I might break
I can hear my real voice
Pushing at the gate
No more hiding, no more frost
No more paying what it costs
If I’m scared, let me be scared
I’m still here, I’m still here
[Chorus]
Behind the mask
I keep coming back
Behind the mask
I’m splitting in half
Tell me who I am
When the truth comes fast
I’m tired of the glass
Behind the mask
