Lyrics
Masquerade
Verse 1:
Masquerade I've been dancing at
Always holding back behind the mask
Never showing what I had inside
Afraid to shine I chose to hide
But I am coming out
Showing what I am about
Chorus:
See me now this is who I am
See me now I understand
Won't get anywhere hiding behind
Who I am, waiting in line
I'm putting it all out there for the world to see
No more Masquerade for me
No more Masquerade for me
Verse 2:
Waking up to realize
It's no practice run, this is my life
Me and my excuses
All just seem so useless
Repeat Chorus:
Abridged Verse 3:
Masquerade I've been dancing at
Always holding back behind the mask
But I am coming out
Showing what I am about
Repeat chorus:
Tag:
See me now this is who I am
See me now I understand
I'm putting it all out there for the world to see
No more masquerade for me
