We all take part in this masquerade ball
Wearing a mask to impress them all
The glitter blinds their eyes to reality

Can't let them see the real me

I'll hide behind this mask, till I die

Because it's easier to live inside a lie
But there's a hand reaching out to me
It pulls the mask off and now they see


(Chorus)
I can't hide, (can't hide) can't flee (can't flee)

I can't outrun or escape from being me
I can't shrink (can't shrink) away (away)
I have to stand and face the dawning day


The wind touches my face
It feels strange to be in this place

It's like I've opened a new door
I feel this truth I can't ignore


Why do we make others love our mask?
To be ourselves, is it too much to ask?
Why do we hide and keep playing these games,

When in the end, we're all the same?
(Chorus)


I am free, to be me
I can laugh, I can love, I can see
I am free, to be me

I can laugh, I can love, I can see
But I...
(Chorus)
