[Verse 1] I say I’m okay with a smile on my face, Dancing like nothing could ever break. But now everybody’s gone from the room, And all of the noise disappeared too soon. I can finally take off this mask I wear, Let my tears fall freely into the air. No more pretending I’m having a good time, No more hiding what’s happening inside. [Pre-Chorus] The lights are fading, The room feels cold, I’m holding everything I never told you… [Chorus] All you hear is the BAAAASS, While I’m crying right beside you. You tell me, “Turn the music up,” Like you can't see what I’m going through. I’m falling apart in the flashing lights, Tears on my face while you dance all night. Nobody hears me, Nobody sees— The saddest part is You’re right next to me. [Verse 2] I wanted somebody to look in my eyes, Not just see the girl who knows how to smile. I wanted you to notice the cracks, The little pieces I can't get back. But the speakers shake and the room goes wild, And I disappear behind another smile. I’m screaming silently underneath the sound, While everybody keeps dancing around. [Pre-Chorus] And now they're leaving, The night is through, But I'm still standing here Waiting for you… [Final Chorus] All you hear is the BAAAASS, While I’m crying right beside you. You say, “Turn the music up,” So nobody has to hear me breaking through. The whole room is moving, But I’m standing still, Trying to hide these tears You never noticed I spilled. And when the last light disappears, I don't have to fake it anymore. I can let the mask fall down, Let my sad, beautiful tears hit the floor. [Outro — stripped down] No bass… No lights… No crowd… Just me. And for the first time tonight, I don't have to pretend I'm okayyyyyyy.
