lyrics

Outside I'm smiling, laughing
Nothing seems to worry me at all
Inside I'm full of fear
Shivering and curled up in a ball

It's nothing I can't handle
I can keep my inside to myself
We'll all be better off
If I pretend I'm someone else

The work that I do
is good for me and you
And all that it takes is to agree
That you'll never ask
to look behind the mask
At the truth no one should ever have to see

Outside I'm charismatic,
cool, collected, really super guy
Inside I'm terrified
someone might find out it's all a lie

If anyone could see
The truth inside of me
Then everything I have would go away
So I put on the mask
And no one ever asks
'Cause they don't want to know anyway

Nobody needs to know
Nobody needs to see
Nobody wins if I take off the mask
It's just the real me

Outside I'm bulletproof
so go ahead and give me all you've got
It's only inside that a word can wound as badly as a shot

With the mask I can hide
The weakness inside
And no one has to see it on my face
And I can overcome
I'm starting to get numb
The real me is slowly being erased

I can be brave
I can be strong
I can be a hero
Behind the mask
Hide what I think
Hide what I feel
Hide what I need
Behind the mask
I relax
I forget
I disappear
Behind the mask
