I wear a mask with a smile for hours at a time
Stare at the ceiling while I hold back what's on my mind
And when they ask me how I'm doing, I say I'm just fine
And when they ask me how I'm doing, I say I'm just fine
But the fact is (fact is)
I can never get off of my mattress (mattress)
And all that they can ask is (ask is)
"Why are you so sad, kid?" (Why are you so sad, kid?)
That's what the mask is
That's what the point of the mask is
So you can see I'm trying, you won't see me crying
I'll just keep on smiling, I'm good (yeah, I'm good)
And it just keeps on piling, it's so terrifying
But I keep on smiling, I'm good (yeah, I'm good)
I've been caring too much for so long
Been comparing myself for so long
I've been wearing a smile for so long, it's real
So long, it's rеal
So long, it's rеal
Always being judged by a bunch of strangе faces
Scared to go outside, haven't seen the light in ages
But I've been places, so I'm okay-ish, so I'm okay-ish
Yeah, I'm okay, babe
But the fact is (fact is)
I need help, I'm failing all my classes (classes)
They think that I need glasses (glasses)
I just really wish that I could pass this (wish that I could pass this)
That's what the mask is
That's what the point of the mask is
So you can see I'm trying, you won't see me crying
I'll just keep on smiling, I'm good (yeah, I'm good)
And it just keeps on piling, it's so terrifying
But I keep on smiling, I'm good (yeah, I'm good)
I've been caring too much for so long
Been comparing myself for so long
I've been wearing a smile for so long, it's real
So long, it's real
So long, it's real
