Fake It Till You Make It

Someone take my mask off

'Fake it till you make it'

That’s what everyone says

Put on a mask and just pretend

Hide your insecurities

Paint your face

Sell the world a story of elegance and grace

Smile big and laugh out loud

Just one more layer to your fairytale

And when the day is done

And the mask falls to the floor

Make sure no one sees your battle ground

Or the scars you hide

Never let anyone on the inside

Sell your story

Near and far

Too bad we’re all actors of a sort
