I wear my smile like a costume on the stage
Dancing through the lines but I'm trapped inside this cage
Every heartbeat's a secret that I hide
Living half a life with half of me denied
They see the colors but they don't know the shades
A rainbow in the dark where my truth always fades
Caught between the lines of who I am and what they see
In a world that's black and white where's the space for me?
Mirror mirror tell me what you see
A shadow of the truth or just who they want me to be?
But the glass is cracking I can feel it in my soul
Trying to break free but I'm losing control
I'm in love with the night where no one can see
But the daylight's a prison where I'm not really me
I'm scared of the truth and what they'll say
But I'm tired of the lies that keep me at bay
These chains are made of whispers stares and fear
Every step I take I feel them drawing near
But my heart beats louder with every stolen glance
In the shadows of the night I'm dreaming of a chance
Mirror mirror do you know my name?
Or just the mask I wear to keep from the shame?
But the cracks are growing can't keep this charade
I'm a spark in the dark and I'm ready to blaze
I'm in love with the night where no one can see
But the daylight's a prison where I'm not really me
I'm scared of the truth and what they'll say
But I'm tired of the lies that keep me at bay
They say love is love but it feels like a crime
When I'm hiding who I am just to buy some time
But my heart's on fire and it's burning me down
I'm done with the shadows I want to be found
I'm in love with the night where no one can see
But the daylight's a prison where I'm not really me
I'm scared of the truth and what they'll say
But I'm tired of the lies that keep me at bay
Behind the mask I'm just a boy who's lost
But I'm ready to love no matter the cost
I'm stepping into the light no more disguise
I'll be who I am no more compromise
Behind the mask I'm just a boy who's lost
But I'm ready to love no matter the cost
I'm stepping into the light no more disguise
I'll be who I am no more compromise
