Behind The Mask

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

All along, I had to talk about it

But like a two edged sword

It cuts you and it stabs me

All along, I knew you were a phony girl

You sit behind the mask

And you control your world

You sit around and I watch your face

I try to find the truth

But that's your hiding place

You say you love me but it's hard to see

'Cause when he's in your arms

You're throwing rocks at me

Who do you love?

Is it me?

With you?

I don't know

Who do you love?

I don't want ya

If you can't answer

You know me

(There is nothing in your eyes)

There is nothing in your eyes

(But that's the way you cry)

But that's the way you cry, girl (cry girl)

(All is grand, all is bright)

All is grand, all is bright

(You're just studying my mind)

I walk around, I'm suffering in my doom

When I come to you

You're sitting in your room

You sit around in the strangest place

So take off the mask

So I can see your face

Who do you love?

Is it me?

With you?

I don't know

Who do you love?

I don't want ya

If you can't answer

I know you

(Heaven must be wearing)

Heaven must be wearing

(Your smile is scary)

You got me scared, girl

(Insincere, empty tears)

Every year, yours are good

You got me scared, girl

(Heaven must be wearing)

Heaven must be wearing

(Your smile is scary)

You got me scared, girl

(Insincere, empty tears)

Every year, yours are good

You got me scared, girl

I walk around, I'm suffering in my doom

And when I come to you

You're sitting in your room

You sit around in the strangest place

So take off the mask

So I can see your face

Who do you love?

Is it me?

With you?

I don't know

Who do you love?

I don't know

I don't wanna talk about it

(let's talk about it)

I don't wanna talk about it

(let's talk about it)

I don't wanna talk about it

(let's talk about it)
