I hide my face behind a smile,

But inside, I’ve been sobbing all the while

I hide my face behind a smile,

Just stuff my feelings, deep inside.



Chorus: Behind the mask, behind the mask,
My feelings are behind the mask (X2)


Behind the mask, I am confused,

My depth of feelings never used,

I’d never tell a single soul,

Just stuff my feelings deep


Behind the mask, behind the mask,

My feelings are behind the mask (X2)

I wrote this a long time ago, at the same time as my other song, Pulse. This was written for a school project, but I love it.
