Fight it when it's just not there,
fake it so they know you care.

Disaster turns you inside out,
showing them your faults.
Try to hide behind your mask
without them having doubts.

Will they even know you
if they see you on the street?
Fuck, if they even know themselves
or how their own heart beats.

Smile behind a burrdon
and laugh with an empty heart.
Snicker at resentment
when they don't know where to start.

You point out all their failures
to hide behind your own.
Cast away your innocence
so your one chance is blown.

They say if you give out your whole heart,
you give them the power to break it.
But if you keep your heart locked up,
then how can someone take it?

So dance like no one's watching,
and love like no one's stopping.

They'll still love the real you;
don't try to be so tough.
More beautiful behind the mask,
why don't you take it off?
