Wearing a smile
Fighting my tears
Covering it all
Hiding a disguise
Hiding my fears
Put up a wall

But underneath it all
The girl you love is gone
I've already let go
But I put on a show
That's all that I know
But I'm waiting to fall

It's a masquerade
You made me hide my face behind a masquerade
Dancing around the truth
I'm done with lying
Tired of pretending
Acting like everything's okay
I just wanna prove my case
Its over, I'm done with being in this masquerade

Its all that I know
So comfortable
I wanna prove you wrong
Even though I need more
Blue skies and rainbows
But the song goes on
If I took off the mask
It wouldn't be because you asked
What you'll be forced to see
It's all been make believe
I'm not who you want me to be

It's a masquerade
You made me hide my face behind a masquerade
Dancing around the truth
I'm done with lying
Tired of pretending
Acting like everything's okay
I just wanna prove my case
Its over, I'm done with being in this masquerade

Lying on my bed, letting these tears come streaming down
But you're going away, and taking your lies with you into the ground
I've been screaming inside, I can finally let it out
The truth is heard now
Face to face
Time to put an end to this

It's a masquerade
You made me hide my face behind a masquerade
Dancing around the truth
I'm done with lying
Tired of pretending
Acting like everything's okay
I just wanna prove my case
Its over, I'm done with being in this masquerade
It's a masquerade
You made me hide my face behind a masquerade
Dancing around the truth
I'm done with lying
Tired of pretending
Acting like everything's okay
I just wanna prove my case
Its over, I'm done with being in this masquerade
