Behind the Mask

(Verse 1)

Every morning, I put on my mask,

Paint the perfect picture, that's all they ask,

Behind the laughter, there's a heavy heart,

Hiding my struggles, playing the part.

(Chorus)

With a fake smile, I wear my disguise,

Laughing on the surface, while the pain never dies,

In this masquerade, I keep the world blind,

But deep down inside, it's breaking my mind.

(Verse 2)

In crowded rooms, I shine like a star,

But in the silence, it’s too loud by far,

Mirror reflection, I hardly recognize,

A stranger wearing joy, with teardrops in their eyes.

(Chorus)

With a fake smile, I wear my disguise,

Laughing on the surface, while the pain never dies,

In this masquerade, I keep the world blind,

But deep down inside, it's breaking my mind.

(Bridge)

Longing for freedom, to let the truth show,

But fear holds me back, afraid to let go,

I wonder if anyone sees through this charade,

Or if I’ll keep hiding in the lies that I’ve made.

(Chorus)

With a fake smile, I wear my disguise,

Laughing on the surface, while the pain never dies,

In this masquerade, I keep the world blind,

But deep down inside, it's breaking my mind.

(Outro)

So here’s my confession, in the light of day,

Behind this facade, I’m crumbling away,

Maybe one day, I’ll find the strength to reveal,

That the fake smile I wear is a heart that won’t heal.
