Take Off the Mask

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] Before the mirror I become someone else The makeup hides even my real eyes [Verse 1] Each morning I put on a role The cheerful one who's never tired The mirror's used to my fake smile Until even I believed I was truly fine [Pre-Chorus] But tonight is too silent The makeup cracked, revealing a real mark [Chorus] I take the mask off Let the makeup fall into the sink I take the mask off I give the stage back my own face [Verse 2] The mirror judges nothing It only reflects someone breathing I wipe off the color and step back From the lights, not because I'm weak [Chorus] I take the mask off Let the makeup fall into the sink I take the mask off I give the stage back my own face [Bridge] Wearing a mask too long, you forget your real face Everyone praised how well I performed But braver still is to take it off [Chorus] I take the mask off Let the makeup fall into the sink I take the mask off I give the stage back my own face [Outro] I've taken off the mask now The mirror acknowledges the truth [Fade Out] [End]
