Lyrics
Verse 1:
Every day, a stage, a new role to play
No script in hand, just improv in the fray
A smile hides the sorrow, laughter masks the pain
A perfect act, performed again and again
Pre-Chorus:
In the mirror, I see through the cracks
A glimpse of me that the world lacks
Chorus:
Wearing masks that break a little every day
Raw and real, but scared to feel, so I hide away
Striving for perfection in this endless masquerade
To show my true face or play by the rules, I'm swayed
Verse 2:
Conversations flow, rehearsed lines in my mind
Polished words, but truth is hard to find
Critique my flaws, every misstep I replay
Trying to be my best, even on the darkest day
Pre-Chorus:
In the mirror, I see through the cracks
A glimpse of me that the world lacks
Chorus:
Wearing masks that break a little every day
Raw and real, but scared to feel, so I hide away
Striving for perfection in this endless masquerade
To show my true face or play by the rules,
I'm swayed
Bridge:
What if I dared to tear this mask apart?
Would they accept the pieces of my heart?
Raw authenticity, no longer kept at bay
Free to be me, come what may
Chorus:
Wearing masks that break a little every day
Raw and real, but scared to feel, so I hide away
Striving for perfection in this endless masquerade
To show my true face or play by the rules, I'm swayed
Chorus:
Wearing masks that break a little every day
Raw and real, but scared to feel, so I hide away
Striving for perfection in this endless masquerade
To show my true face or play by the rules, I'm swayed
Outro:
One day, I’ll be brave,
let the mask fall
embrace it all (embrace it all)
Perfectly flawed, in the light I’ll stay
No more masks, just me in every way
(just me in every way!)
