Behind the Masks

(Verse 1)

I put on my smile like a shield at dawn,

Hiding the battles that I’ve fought and won.

Behind every laugh, there’s a whisper of doubt,

A heart full of shadows, but I’m not backing out.

(Chorus)

We wear our masks, oh, to hide the tears,

Dancing in daylight, concealing our fears.

Behind painted faces, we’re longing to be,

Free from the burdens, just wanting to see.

(Verse 2)

With colors of courage, I craft my disguise,

Yet underneath the surface, the truth never lies.

In the mirror’s reflection, a stranger appears,

Searching for solace beneath all these layers.

(Chorus)

We wear our masks, oh, to hide the tears,

Dancing in daylight, concealing our fears.

Behind painted faces, we’re longing to be,

Free from the burdens, just wanting to see.

(Bridge)

But if you peel back the layers we wear,

You’ll find a heart beating, a soul laid bare.

Together we’ll rise, let the masks fall away,

Embrace our insecurities, come what may.

(Chorus)

We wear our masks, oh, to hide the tears,

Dancing in daylight, concealing our fears.

Behind painted faces, we’re longing to be,

Free from the burdens, just wanting to see.

(Outro)

So here’s to the beauty of being set free,

To the truths we uncover, to simply just be.

With the masks left behind, let’s shine like the stars,

Together, no hiding—just love in our scars.
