I was once sad and lonely,
Having nobody to comfort me,
So, I made a mask that always smiled
For my feelings to hide behind.
Before long, I had many friends;
With my mask, I was one of them.
But deep inside, I still felt empty,
Like a part of me was missing or had died.
Nobody could hear my cries at night,
For I had designed my mask to hide all my lies.
Nobody could see the pain I was feeling.
For I had designed my mask to be happy all the time.
Behind all my smiles were all my tears,
And behind all my comfort were all my fears.
Everything you see, wasn't everything there was to me.
Day by day,
I was slowly dying little by little.
I couldn't go on, there was something missing in my life. And I needed to find it, that I swore...
Until now I'm still searching for the thing that will stop my crying.
For someone to erase all my fears, for the person that will wipe away my tears.
But till then I'll keep on smiling, hiding behind my mask.
Hoping that one day I can smile from the bottom of my heart.
