Behind the mask

I wear a smile upon my face But inside, there's an empty space I'm dancing, laughing, having fun But deep down, I'm coming undone Behind the mask, I'm hiding The thoughts I'm denying I pretend everything's okay But inside, I'm fading away I paint a picture of a perfect life But beneath the surface, it's all a lie I say the words that they want to hear But my true feelings, I keep them near Behind the mask, I'm hiding The thoughts I'm denying I pretend everything's okay But inside, I'm fading away
