You didn’t have to wear the mask with me, you know
I would have accepted you With every flaw And loved you the more for them
I’ve endured more darts than you could ever throw And for the life of me I don’t know why You’d choose to be the enemy
Maybe you’ve been left so bitter from the chance you let slip by You can’t remember What it’s like To love and let love go
Or believe there could be anyone who’d let you have your place Inside the heart Of someone who You’d never have to lose
I understand the cause of all these games you choose to play The self-deception And mistrust You’ve been so eager to hold dear
I’ll never take your mask from you, you know Just hold my tongue Instead recall That deep inside it kills you
That I’m here
