Revealing What's Real

So this is the way it has to be
No more lies
No more pretending
It's time to reveal the real me

This is the girl
You never knew existed
She hid behind her mask
That was painted on each morning

Hiding from the world
Never wanting to admit
That this girl was really there
Never wanting to believe

To forever hide her feelings
So no one would ever know
The pain she goes through everyday
The suffering no one knew of

Covering her body
So they don't see the scars
Always wanting to die
To just fade away into the darkness

Enough of the pretending
No more living a life of lies
Time to throw away the mask
And reveal the girl inside

So take off the bandages
Forget how to smile
Show the world your pain
