I wear a mask with a smile
For hours at a time
Stare at the ceiling while I hold back
what's on my mind
And when they ask me how I'm doing
I say "I'm just fine"
And when they ask me how I'm doing
I say "I'm just fine"
But the fact is
I can never get off of my mattress
And all that they can ask is
"Why are you so sad, kid?"
That's what the mask is
That's what the point of the mask is
So you can see I'm trying
You won't see me crying
I'll just keep on smiling, I'm good
And it just keeps on piling
It's so terrifying
But I keep on smiling, I'm good
I've been caring too much for so long
Been comparing myself for so long
Been wearing a smile
For so long it's real
For so long it's real
For so long it's real
Always being judged by a
bunch of strange faces
Scared to go outside
Haven't seen the light in ages
But I've been places
So I'm okay-ish
So I'm okay
Yeah, I'm okay bitch, but the fact is
I need help I'm failing all my classes
They think that I need glasses
I just really wish that I could pass this
That's what the mask is
That's what the point of the mask is
So you can see I'm trying
You won't see me crying
I'll just keep on smiling, I'm good
And it just keeps on piling
It's so terrifying
But I keep on smiling, I'm good
I've been caring too much for so long
Been comparing myself for so long
Been wearing a smile
For so long it's real
For so long it's real
For so long it's real
So long it's real
So long it's real
