[Verse 1] I wear a mask, a painted grin on my face, Hiding all the fears that I canโt seem to erase. In shadows of doubt where my heart does reside, Iโm searching for the strength that I keep locked inside. But every glance you throw feels like a piercing spark, Leaving me trapped in this emotional dark. [Chorus] I hide myself behind a smile, oh so strong, Bearing this weight, trying to prove them wrong. But the truth in your eyes still lingers so long, Believing this fight is where I belong. [Verse 2] You say you accept me, but your silence screams loud, Whatโs hidden in the words youโre too scared to shout? Iโm battling the tides of whatโs real and whatโs fake, Each day feels like Iโm drowning in a heartacheโs wake. Behind this brave facade, Iโm starting to crack, Every tick of the clock, I just want to go back. [Chorus] I hide myself behind a smile, oh so strong, Bearing this weight, trying to prove them wrong. But the truth in your eyes still lingers so long, Believing this fight is where I belong. [Outro] In a world of confusion, shall I stand or fall? I hide behind my smile, yet itโs breaking my all.
