Masks (feat. Abbie Kats)

I wanted you to believe

I could be anything you needed

I am an actress with a million masks

One for mother, for father, for sister, for brother

Mask for a friend, mask for a foe

And the mask for love was the thinnest of all

But my mask was not good enough for you

I removed my mask for you

But still the real me was not enough

Now i'm running from fairy tales

Chasing me down, no more masks

It's not enough, I won't escape this crippled love

How many masks do I need?

When will you see?

That my masks are only so I can keep guarded

And this fragile heart, once open to you

Now trying to hide from all that you started

I've had just enough you don't have to ask

I'll never give you back your mask!

You were, nothing that I wanted

But everything I needed

Before I knew it, the walls had crumbled, the masks were gone

Before I could tell you, you had all of me

You'd left, wearing a mask of your own, you took it all with you

A never ending river of joy and sadness

'til there was nothing left of me, not even the dream of the mask

But still you ask me for a new mask

What can I do to show you?

I have fallen, I'm so close to

Hitting the ground, what can I do with this twisted love?

I won't lie any longer

Not for you, not for me

Never again will I put on a mask

You will have to accept the real me

Because I accepted when the real you

Was nothing I wanted, but all that I needed

How many masks do I need?

When will you see?

All my masks where only so I could keep guarded

And this fragile heart, still open to you

Now trying to get back all that you started

I've had just enough, you don't have to ask

My mask and yours were only shows

I still love you, and now you know

My mask and yours were only shows

I still love you, and now you know
