Behind the Mask

[Verse] Can't you see me trying hard Holding back to play the part Hiding what’s inside my heart To fit in and not fall apart [Verse 2] Copy smiles like routines Mimic ways I’ve rarely seen In the crowd but not serene Listen close but want to scream [Chorus] Behind the mask we wear it's tough To pretend that we’re enough Every girl with fire inside But the world wants us to hide [Verse 3] Stimming quiet in my shell Want to be but can’t quite tell Like a whisper Like a spell All this masking feels like hell [Bridge] Seems like no one understands The silent cries and broken plans Holding onto what I am But still shackled by demands [Chorus] Behind the mask we wear it's tough To pretend that we’re enough Every girl with fire inside But the world wants us to hide
