The Mask You Wear

Verse 1
I’m tired of the silence, tired of the strain
We walk on glass and call it love again
You’re kind, you’re sweet, you play the part so well
But behind your smile, there’s a darker spell

Pre-Chorus
You say you need me, like a holy prayer
But I see the cracks in the mask you wear

Chorus
And it hurts, but I’m walking away
Better now than another wasted day
I believed, but you never were real
Love shouldn’t twist the way we feel

Verse 2
You shine like hope, but your light is cold
A perfect lie that’s getting old
Your truth slips through when you lose control
That’s when I see the pieces of your soul

Pre-Chorus
You want to keep me, in your haunted stare
But I won’t be lost in the mask you wear

Chorus
And it hurts, but I’m walking away
Better now than another wasted day
I believed, but you never were real
Love shouldn’t twist the way we feel

Bridge
I gave you time, I gave you trust
But all we built just turned to dust
No hate, no war, no need to scream
We were never what we seemed

Final Chorus
And it hurts, but I’m walking away
Better truth than to slowly decay
I believed, but I see it clear
Love shouldn’t come with this much fear
