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
I can never get off of my mattress
And all that they can ask is
"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'll 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
Been wearing a smile for so long, it's real
So long, it's real
So long, it's real
Always being judged by a bunch of strange 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 bitch)
But the fact is
I need help, I'm failing all my classes
They think that I need glasses
I just really 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'll 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
Been wearing a smile for so long, it's real
So long, it's real
So long, it's real
So you can (see I'm try-)
(See me cry-)
(Keep on smil-)
(Yeah, I'm good)
(Keeps on pil-)
(Terrify-)
(Keep on smil-)
(Yeah, I'm good)
(Caring for so-)
(Comparing for so-)
(Wearing for so long)
(So long)
(So long)
So long, it's real
So long, it's real
