Tears Behind A Mask
I wanted so bad to tell, 
 But instead I had to ask.
 ‘Cause you can’t know,
 That my tears hide behind my mask.
    You always say you care
 But you’re going to burn.
 Then I agree with you
 And all shall be well.
   I’ve let you believe
 That I feel the same,
 But if you leave
 I’d feel just the same.
   I’m trying to prove
 I’m fine without you,
 But it’s hard to improve
 When I don’t know what to do.
    Friends ask me how I feel.
 I just lie and say I’m fine.
 Now it’s getting hard to deal…
 But I kind of feel confined, here.
    I keep this disguise
 Until I go home…
 Then the tears come to my eyes
 And I realize I must say good-bye.
