Mask by: TAS
I wear a mask you cannot see
Cause I wear it deep inside of me
Behind it hides my feelings true
That I am too scared to show you
I wear a mask to hide my feelings
To hide them can be much easier then to be revealing
Sometimes I totally box myself in
Separating me from the people who care the most, I feel I cannot win
If I keep my feelings bottled up inside
And wait till I am alone to cry
Old wounds I will reopen though some have never healed
But in the darkness all alone I show it how deep the hurt I feel
To do it that way always hurts more when I wait till I'm alone to mourn
When alone I feel like no one cares and my soul feels so tattered and torn
So I don't have to open up which is risking being hurt, I wear a mask
If no one thinks there's anything wrong, then no one will ask
Can talk to people may help me heal
I need to be taught to trust again and to show how I feel
For being so quiet does not come without toll
My feeling stay bottled up the gets too hard to control
I wait so long to cry, till I am alone, but then I cannot what I need so
much
By then what I need is a hug, a "It'll be ok, just trust my hunch."
This mask I wear protects from hurting and being hurt but the comfort it
gives never lasts
Oh, I'd give just about anything to erase the memories in my painful past
I tend to push people away to take more then I give
But that no longer is the way I wanna live
A life that is not worth living was the one I had chose
But if you'd ask me now I'd rather be a rose
