Lyrics
This Mask I Wear
Music & Lyrics by Tonya Leigh Showalter
v1: This mask I wear, it hides me well. No one can see what a wretch I am. But then you came, and you let me know that you see the real me.
Ch: And you took my mask away, and now I feel such pain. 'Cause it's what's kept me safe. Please give it back to me. And you took it all away the day you saved the say, and now I am afraid. I'm out for all to see.
v2: This mask I wear looks so perfect. It makes me feel every thing's all right. Then you show the real me and my heart's full of fright.
