iconik_tea - Behind the Mask

If you use my songs, don't forget to credit me, enjoy!
[Verse]
Every day I wake up trying
Put on a smile keep it from dying
Nobody sees the tears I hide
In the dark where I confide

[Verse 2]
Laughing loud though my heart aches
Pretend it’s fine these smiles are fakes
I’m a stranger in my own skin
Wishing someone could see within

[Chorus]
Oh behind the mask you'll never know
The pain and sorrow I won't show
Hiding the darkness deep inside
Behind the mask is where I hide

[Verse 3]
Out in the crowd I'm just a face
Trying to keep up with the pace
Deep inside I'm all alone
A broken heart you haven’t known

[Bridge]
Is there someone who can see
The twisted paths inside of me
I long for truth for someone near
Who’ll wipe away the hidden tears

[Chorus]
Oh behind the mask you'll never know
The pain and sorrow I won't show
Hiding the darkness deep inside
Behind the mask is where I hide

[Verse 4]
Paint a smile on my face
Cover up all the disgrace
Walking through a crowded place
Feel the loneliness embrace

[Verse 5]
They see joy they see light
But inside it’s a fight
Every morning every night
Keeping shadows out of sight

[Chorus]
Oh behind the mask you'll never know
The pain and sorrow I won't show
Hiding the darkness deep inside
Behind the mask is where I hide

[Verse 6]
Friends around but still alone
Talking on the telephone
Hide the ache hide the moan
Pretending heart’s made of stone

[Verse 7]
Laughter echoing in the hall
Catches me when I fall
But no one knows it all
Behind the mask my secret wall

[Chorus]
Oh behind the mask you'll never know
The pain and sorrow I won't show
Hiding the darkness deep inside
Behind the mask is where I hide
