the mask by taylor
newmoon (me)
Nobody really knows me
And all the secrets I do hide
I have my own little mask
A protection from my inside
I'm scared to show the real
me
Afraid that people will judge
I keep so much within my heart
That it's a wonder I can even budge
I carry this mask around with
me
It is always forever there
It waits with me until it's needed
So that I will never be caught bare
Somedays I feel it urge me
To simply throw it away
To show the real, true me
But I can't let go of it - not today
The secrets that are held
beneath it
Are so painful and so deep
I'm afraid that I will hurt the whole world
And the whole world will begin to weep
Yet the secrets that are held
beneath it
Are so real and so true
That somedays I wish that the mask would melt
So I wouldn't be so dishonest and blue
I wear my mask with my
family
With my friends and at school
Each day I put my mask on
It's such an unhealthy tool
It kills my inner
being
The little girl
who's underneath
The mask is becoming me
I'd like to grind it up in my teeth
I'm scared that one day the mask
will take over
And that the mask will turn into me
I'm afraid that the mask will take possession
That it will be the one to smell, touch, hear and see
I'm scared that one day it will
be stuck
And I won't be able to take the mask off
I'm afraid of loosing that precious girl
The horrible one, who's so kind and soft
So if you see me with my
mask
Don't belittle or critisize me
One day I'll get the strengh to let it go
And I will trully, honestly be
