We all take part in this masquerade ball
Wearing a mask to impress them all
The glitter blinds their eyes to reality
Can't let them see the real me

I'll hide behind this mask, till I die
Because it's easier to live inside a lie
But there's a hand reaching out to me
It pulls the mask off and now they see

(Chorus)

I can't hide, (can't hide) can't flee (can't flee)
I can't outrun or escape from being me
I can't shrink (can't shrink) away (away)
I have to stand and face the dawning day

The wind touches my face
It feels strange to be in this place
It's like I've opened a new door
I feel this truth I can't ignore

Why do we make others love our mask?
To be ourselves, is it too much to ask?
Why do we hide and keep playing these games,
When in the end, we're all the same?
(Chorus)

I am free, to be me
I can laugh, I can love, I can see
I am free, to be me
I can laugh, I can love, I can see
But I
(Chorus)
