Mask

By Thorn

I'll hide behind my mask
I'll pretend that I'm okay.
As I'm waiting for today to pass
I'll act like nothing's changed.

Nobody will see
I'll hide it all away.
I'll pretend that I'm the same old me
And lie another day.

Beautiful shards
Of broken young hearts
I'll hide the pain
Forget your name
And wait for better days.

As you depart
My world falls apart
I'll fight the past behind my mask
And try for a fresh start.

I'll hide behind my mask
And pretend that I'm okay.
I'll look for comfort in this flask
As I tell you nothing's changed.

You will never see
I'll hide it all inside.
You'll never know what's wrong with me
Or see the tears I cry.

Beautiful shards
Of broken young hearts
I'll hide the pain
Forget your name
And wait for better days.

As you depart
My world falls apart
I'll fight the past behind my mask
And try for a fresh start.
