Mask
This mask I wear
Can break and tear
I tried to see how I'd fare
By trying to act like I don't care
The mask is crumbling down
My smile becomes a frown
My world is tumbling down
I tried to mask my every feeling for you
But it just was bundled inside and grew
Now i know it is true
You can not hide emotion
I will not try this anymore
So I want to say who this is for
But I am weak and this is what I can not say
My world grows darker everyday
My sight goes blind
I can no longer think with my mind
