Behind the Mask

Lyrics by POPPO. Music by SUNO. ---lyrics--- Trying so hard to wear a smile I’m killing who I really am Building up ideals I made myself Now they’ve become my chains Even the words I want to say I don’t have the guts to speak All that I can ever do Is scream inside so silently No one will ever understand What I truly feel inside The “me” that everyone can see Is just another fake disguise I’m so sick of this Of lying to myself again I just wanna scream it loud You don’t know a damn thing You think you know who I am But you only see the mask I wear So let me say it loud and clear You don’t know me at all I just want you to understand That’s all I ever wanted If I could be honest to myself My pride would never let me be So I hope you’ll notice me Please, keep your eyes on me I wish you’d be the one to say That I deserve to be seen this way But I know you’ll never see What I truly wish inside The “me” you think you’re looking at Who the hell is that supposed to be? I know it’s selfish of me I know it all too well Expecting more from you Was my biggest mistake But I still wanna say it out Your filthy expectations Are the ones that tear me down I’m so sick of this Of lying to myself again I just wanna scream it loud You don’t know a damn thing You think you know who I am But now I’ll tell you face to face Let me make it crystal clear You don’t know me anyway
