Lyrics
[instrumental intro]
[verse 1]
i'm tired of wearing a mask
pretending everything's alright
when inside i'm drowning in the task
of living up to this facade so tight
[chorus]
why do we hide behind lies?
pretending day by day
why can't we show our true selves?
why is that not okay?
[instrumental]
[verse 2]
honesty feels like a lost art
in a world of fake smiles and nods
why can't we have the courage to start
being real, breaking through the facades?
[verse 3]
it shouldn't be a crime
to feel what's truly inside
let's break free from this paradigm
and wear our hearts on our sleeves with pride
[piercing guitar solo]
[bridge]
imagine a world where we're free
to be who we are without shame
but it seems like such a distant reality
will we ever break free from this game?
[chorus]
why do we live like this?
faking all the way...
why can't we be ourselves,
why is that not okay?
[verse 4]
the pressure to conform is strong
but together, we can rewrite the rules
let's stand tall, speak out, and belong
embracing our flaws as beautiful jewels
[verse 5]
i long for the day when truth prevails
and authenticity reigns supreme
no more masks or hidden tales
just pure honesty as our redeem
[instrumental interlude]
[bridge]
a world where authenticity shines bright
isn't that what we crave?
though it may seem out of sight
hope remains steadfast and brave
[verse 6]
when the walls of deceit crumble down
and vulnerability takes its place
we'll find strength in being profound
and finally live life with grace
[chorus]
why do we live like this?
faking all the way...
why can't we be ourselves,
why is that not okay?
[outro]
i know i'm not alone in feeling this pain
yearning for a world where truth will reign
change begins with us, let's break the chain
for in authenticity, there lies no disdain
[instrumental outro]
[end]
[end]
