Do you think it's so good to be me
Is that all you can see
Just stop here and look around this place
The painted smile on my face
It's a masquerade of misconceptions
Stigmatized with all the lies
There's more to me than what you see
I don't wanna be here, everything you see here
Isn't really me at all
Whatever you can fashion, whatever you imagine
Is nothing when the curtain falls
Look in my eyes, one thing is clear
I don't wanna be here
I will try only so hard to please
But I really can't breathe (behind the mask)
When you try to pretend you don't see
You take something from me
This big charade of misconceptions
Sanitized with all the lies
There's more to me than what you see
I don't wanna be here, everything you see here
Isn't really me at all
Whatever you can fashion, whatever you imagine
Is nothing when the curtain falls
Look in my eyes, one thing is clear
I don't wanna be here
You brought me into this emptiness,
But now you're gonna have to let go
LET GO, LET GO
I don't wanna be here, everything you see here
Isn't really me at all
Whatever you can fashion, whatever you imagine
Is nothing when the curtain falls
Look in my eyes, one thing is clear
I don't wanna be here
