I wanted you to believe,
I could be anything you needed,
I am an actress with a million masks.
One for mother, for father, for sister, for brother.
Mask for a friend, mask for a foe.
And the mask for love was the thinnest of all,
but my mask was not good enough for you,
I removed my mask for you.
But still the real me was not enough,
now i'm running from fairy tales.
Chasing me down, no more masks,
it's not enough, I won't escape this crippled love.
How many masks do I need?
When will you see?
That my masks are only so I can keep guarded.
And this fragile heart, once open to you,
now trying to hide from all that you started.
I've had just enough you don't have to ask.
I'll never give you back your mask!
You were, nothing that I wanted,
but everything I needed.
Before I knew it, the walls had crumbled, the masks were gone.
Before I could tell you, you had all of me,
you'd left, wearing a mask of your own, you took it all with you.
A never ending river of joy and sadness,
'til there was nothing left of me, not even the dream of the mask.
But still you ask me for a new mask,
what can I do to show you?
I have fallen, I'm so close to,
hitting the ground, what can I do with this twisted love?
repeat
I'll never give you back your mask!
I won't lie any longer,
not for you, not for me.
Never again will I put on a mask.
You will have to accept the real me,
because I accepted when the real you,
was nothing I wanted, but all that I needed.
repeat
How many masks do I need?
When will you see?
All my masks where only so I could keep guarded.
And this fragile heart, still open to you,
now trying to get back all that you started,
I've had just enough, you don't have to ask.
My mask and yours were only shows,
I still love you, and now you know
My mask and yours were only shows,
I still love you, and now you know
