[Verse 1]

I wear a mask with a smile for hours at a time

Stare at the ceiling while I hold back what's on my mind

And when they ask me how I'm doing

I say, "I'm just fine"

And when they ask me how I'm doing

I say, "I'm just fine"

But the fact is

I can never get off of my mattress

And all that they can ask is

"Why are you so sad, kid?" (Why are you so sad, kid?)

[Pre-Chorus]

That's what the mask is

That's what the point of the mask is

[Chorus]

So you can see I'm tryin'

You won't see me cryin'

I'll just keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)

And it just keeps on pilin'

It's so terrifying

But I keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)

I've been carin' too much for so long

Been comparin' myself for so long

Been wearin' a smile for so long, it's real

So long, it's rеal, so long, it's real
