Summary: Don’t let the colorful mask fool you.

Nobody sees what’s hidden
behind my brightly painted mask.
You all seem to believe
that my life is just fine,
that I’m perfectly happy.
My mask…it’s truly beautiful.
The rich colors take your breath away.
You seem to trust the mask.
You seem to forget everything else.
But you can’t see what I’m truely concealing.
Do you even know
how much I weep at night?

Around the people I love,
I show them my very best.
I break out my rainbow just for them.
I point out the bright colors.
To them I seem so joyous.
I’m such a lucky girl.
But truly, do you even know
that I’m really afraid?
that I’m losing my hope?
that I have my doubts?
Behind the mask,
the emptiness scares me.
Behind the mask,
the darkness is closing in.
Behind the mask,
it’s getting frighteningly cold.
Please, someone save me.

Back outside of my mask,
nothing’s ever wrong.
Well, now it’s time for me
to take off my mask
and let everyone see
the real me.
