With torn and bleeding smiles we move on
And mouth all different kinds of broken promises
Why should our days be spent in denial
While counting our faults and ripping our hearts out

Let them only see us, while we wear the mask that hides
Never let them know us, as the tortured soul inside
Feel the hate beneath our feet before the longest mile
Say the words we can't forget, or chose to say otherwise

We wear the mask

The face you see is not our own
It hides our tears and shades our eyes
The heart you touched has since grown cold
We wear the mask that grins and lies

Behind our doors the time cannot be whisked away
Crashing and burning, leaving hints of darkness
Deep within their withered faces, lines are sunken in
We say we're fine behind the mask
We say we're fine, why do you ask

We wear the mask

The face you see is not our own
It hides our tears and shades our eyes
The heart you touched has since grown cold
We wear the mask that grins and lies
The face you see is not our own
It hides our tears and shades our eyes
The heart you touched has since grown cold
We wear the mask that grins and lies

Hear the words they speak and they don't hear the call
Looking forward nothing more to feel at all
Until the day they wake and see the damage caused
The longest mile is the step you never take at all

We wear the mask
We wear the mask
We wear the mask
We wear the mask

The face you see is not our own
It hides our tears and shades our eyes
The heart you touched has since grown cold
We wear the mask that grins and lies
The face you see is not our own
It hides our tears and shades our eyes
The heart you touched has since grown cold
We wear the mask that grins and lies
