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 doingI 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?" (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 tryin' You won't see me cryin'
I'll just keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good) And it just keeps on pilin'
It's so terrifying But I keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)
I've been carin' too much for so long Been comparin' myself for so long
Been wearin' a smile for so long, it's real So long, it's real, so long, it's real
Always bein' 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 failin' 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 long, it's real
So long, it's real
