[Intro – Voice 1] Who are you... [Voice 2] When nobody needs you to be strong? [Voice 1] Who am I... [Both] When I don't have to pretend? [Verse 1 – Voice 1] I wear a smile like armor Put it on before I leave If I look like everything is fine Maybe everyone believes I've learned how to hide the shaking I've learned how to say, "I'm okay" Even when the words feel heavy Even when I want to run away [Verse 2 – Voice 2] I wear silence like a warning Keep my heart behind a door If I never let them close enough They can't hurt me anymore They think I don't need anybody They think I like being alone But sometimes I just wish somebody Could see through all the stone [Pre-Chorus – Voice 1] I don't know why... [Voice 2] I let you in. [Voice 1] I don't know why... [Voice 2] I let the walls fall down. [Both] But somehow when you're standing here... I don't need to hide now. [Chorus – Both] There's no mask between us No reason to pretend You can show me every broken part I won't love you less in the end There's no mask between us No character to play You don't have to be the person That the whole world wants today Take off the smile Put down the fight You don't have to hide When you're here tonight No mask between us... Just you. Just me. Just real. [Verse 3 – Voice 1] I know the world sees you differently Like you're made of ice and smoke But I've seen you laugh until you cry I've seen every little joke I've seen the part you never show them The one you try so hard to protect And maybe that's the reason why You're the one I won't forget [Verse 4 – Voice 2] And I've seen behind your golden light When the brightness disappears I've seen you trying not to cry So nobody sees your tears You don't always have to save the day You don't always have to make it right Sometimes you can just be lost with me We can find ourselves tonight [Pre-Chorus – Both] You know my weakness I know your fear The things we never say out loud Are safe when you're near No perfect answers No need to prove You see the worst inside of me... And you don't move. [Chorus – Both] There's no mask between us No reason to pretend You can show me every broken part I won't love you less in the end There's no mask between us No character to play You don't have to be the person That the whole world wants today Take off the smile Put down the fight You don't have to hide When you're here tonight No mask between us... Just you. Just me. Just real. [Rap – Voice 2] No filters No edits No perfect disguise No carefully chosen words No practiced replies You can tell me that you're angry Tell me that you're afraid Tell me every little promise That somebody else betrayed I don't need the perfect version I don't need the strongest one You don't have to win the battle You don't have to overcome If your whole world falls apart Then let it fall right here 'Cause I would rather know the truth Than have you disappear. [Rap – Voice 1] Yeah— I spent my whole life thinking Love comes with conditions Keep the pretty parts Hide the contradictions But you never made me smaller Never told me who to be Never asked me for perfection You just stayed with me So if I lose my balance If I don't know what to say Promise you won't build another mask And push me away 'Cause maybe being vulnerable Isn't something we should fear Maybe being seen for who we are... Is why we're here. [Bridge – Voice 1] You can stop pretending. [Voice 2] You can stop being brave. [Voice 1] You can tell me that you're hurting. [Voice 2] You can tell me you need to be saved. [Voice 1] I won't turn away. [Voice 2] I won't disappear. [Both] Every version that you hide... Is safe with me here. [Build – Both] The world can have our shadows The world can have our light They can keep their expectations We don't have to win that fight Because when every door is closed And every voice disappears There's only one thing left to know— [Both] You see me. And I'm still here. [Final Chorus – Both] There's no mask between us No reason to pretend You can show me every broken part And I'll stay until the end There's no mask between us No character to play We don't have to be the people That the whole world wants today Take off the armor Put down the fight You don't have to hide When you're by my side No mask between us No more disguise Just your heart Next to mine No mask between us... [Voice 1] Finally... [Voice 2] I can breathe. [Both] Because you know the real me.
