We Wear the Mask

It's an integrated part of us
A reflection of what we wish we were
A bundle of lies
Look at those eyes
They speak the truth
That smile's a spoof
Don't be fooled

We put it on to appear strong
You've got it all wrong
We put it on as if we don't care
but we truly are scared
Our true feelings we'd rather not share

It's just not fair
It's very rare
to find us bare
I dare you to take it off
and show us
you care.
