Lyrics
Someone else's coat is keeping me warm tonight
Someone else's skirt isn't fitting me right
Someone else's mouth is saying the things you like
I gotta keep that someone around if I'm gonna live this lie
Is it time to tell the truth
That I'm just not myself with you?
You don't even know who I am
And you'll never understand
I'm just performing in a mask whenever you're around
And I hide everything that I am
In my elaborate plan to keep you happy and content
But you don't know who I am
Looking at my life, you could divide it up
Draw a line between who I am with you and who I was
How many stifled opinions 'till I hide 'em all?
How many lies 'till I look around, not knowing who I've become?
Is it time to break the news
That I'm just not myself with you?
You don't even know who I am
And you'll never understand
I'm just performing in a mask whenever you're around
And I hide everything that I am
In my elaborate plan to keep you happy and content
But you don't know who I am
Whenever we'd make plans
I dreaded them
I'd spend the night before just crying on the shower floor
Through all that pain
I'm forever changed
I'd make a bet that you're exactly who you were before
You don't even know who I am
And you'll never understand
I'm just performing in a mask whenever you're around
And I hide everything that I am
In my elaborate plan to keep you happy and content
But you don't know who I am
