masks. Lyrics

I put on a mask but I'm not okay

And honestly, I've never had the strength to say it

But I need you to know that I need you to stay

I need you to hope, I need you to pray

I need you to know that I need you to stay

I need you to hope, I need you to pray

I need your support, not for you to stay out of it

I need you to grow with me

I need you to walk with me

I need you to talk with me

I need you to listen, okay

Leap of faith, man, I'll show my, my face

I know I put it out there that I've got everything together

But honestly that couldn't be further from the truth (no, it couldn't)

I know I get ticked off when they say it will get better

Because honestly they don't know what I'm going through

But you do (no, they don't)

And I need you to listen (okay)

Trust from me is something that's not a given (no, it's not)

But you've proven you'll stand by me

But it's a fantasy that I've been living (woah, woah)

So I put on a mask but I'm not okay (no I'm not)

And honestly, I've never had the strength to say it (never did)

But I need you to know that I need you to stay

I need you to hope, I need you to pray

I put on a mask but I'm not okay (no I'm not)

And honestly, I've never had the strength to say it (never did)

But I need you to know that I need you to stay

I need you to hope, I need you to pray

I need you to know that I need you to stay

I need you to hope, I need you to pray

I need your support, not for you to stay out of it

I need you to grow with me

I need you to walk with me

I need you to talk with me

I need you to listen, okay

Leap of faith, man, I'll show my, my face

Show my true colors, I'm alone and lost

I've been buying all these lies and then avoiding the cost

I've been trying to hide behind a mask of who I want to be

But who I am is somebody who is spiraling

Trying to win

This battle with myself while staying silent and

It is just loss after loss after loss after loss

So I shoved you away to hide within (woah, wake up)

Embarrassed by the battle scars (yeah, ay)

Because no one knows the battles are (no one knows)

Happening inside my heart (yeah, they're happening)

I don't know how to start

So I put on a mask but I'm not okay (no I'm not)

And honestly, I've never had the strength to say it (never did)

But I need you to know that I need you to stay

I need you to hope, I need you to pray

I need you to know that I need you to stay

I need you to hope, I need you to pray

I need your support, not for you to stay out of it

I need you to grow with me

I need you to walk with me

I need you to talk with me

I need you to listen, okay

Leap of faith, man, I'll show my, my face
