Don't be fooled by me
don't be fooled by the face i wear
for i wear a mask, a thousand masks
masks that I'm afraid to take off
and none of them is me
pretending is an art second nature to me
but don't be fooled
i give you the impression that in secure
that confidence is my name and coolness is my game
and that i need no one
my surface may seem smooth but my surface
is my mask,ever-varying and ever changing
beneath lies complacence
beneath lies confusion and fear and aloneness but i hide this
i don't want anybody to know it
i panic at the thought of my weakness and fear being exposed
thats why i frantically create a mask to hide behind
but i don't like to hide
i don't like to cry,alone in the dark
i don't wanna be anyone else but me
but I'm every one else but me
i wish i weren't afraid
to to come out from my hiding
i wish it wasn't hurting you
i want to love you but I'm to afraid
i do love you
i just don't love me
you wonder who i am
well...
I'm every girl...
teenage woman...
and young lady you will ever meet
