I don't show myself to the world,
for I don't like who i am.
The mask I wear
covers the real me.
Sometimes I forget I'm wearing it,
and i let my real self show.
The mask I wear
is of pride and stubborness,
to hide my weakness.
It hides how I really feel.
People fall for my false front
and never meet the real me.
They believe my mask
and don't look deeper.
They believe I'm exactly what they see,
and what they see is only a mask.
Underneath this mask
Is a happy, joyful young woman.
Who only hides from you
'cause she's too emotional underneath,
and thinks you'd laugh
if you understood how deeply she cares.
'Cause she doesn't know how to explain
what is happening to her,
this joyful young woman is me.
And I'm so very shy and confused
'cause I don't know what to say
so I wear the mask to shut it all away.
I'm good at hiding beneath my mask
'cause I've had practice over the years.
Now I'm afraid to let it show,
afraid to let it out that I'm growing up
and i have feelings.
I'm afraid to take off my mask,
it's almost a part of me now,
but I have to take it off,I must
'cause masks are useless.
They just put off getting to know someone.
All I wish is for him to care,
'cause I want to remove my mask.
And if he cares enough, I will.
So he'd better get prepared
'cause the real me is coming out,
after several years of being hidden.
So watch out world, here I come
my mask is being lifted permanently.
