Every day
I hide my face
Behind a mask of happiness

You think
I'm the tough guy
Instead I'm drowning in loneliness

Every day
I just pretend
To smile at the world with a happy face

But honestly
On the inside
I'm dead like a corpse, fall from grace

Instead of being strong
I just run away
From living my life
‘Cause I'm too afraid to stay

My entire existence
Is like a nightmare
I've lost my resistance
But I don't really care

The people around me
Still think I'm okay
But nobody can see
That my soul has gone away

Abandoned, lost and not found
Alone in a lonely world
I'm chained by an invisible bound
Not able to say a word

Day after day
I'm hiding behind my mask
And night after night
My tears cover my unemotional face

Someday
I will be far away
Somewhere in the deep darkness
Not able to come back

Maybe then
Some of you might see
I had never been the person
You thought I was
