And she breaks down and cries
Cause she`s living a lie
Then she peels of her smile
Revealing tears in her eyes
And her makeup`s running
The fire is burning
Her heart is breaking
Her world`s left shaken
How long could she pretend that she`s okay
And her mask is melting
Her dreams are fading
She`s slowly losing
The life she`s making
How long could she pretend that she`s okay?
She knows what she wants
And she knows how to get it
But she`s suddenly lost all sense of direction
She wakes up and looks at the sky
Not understanding, she`s asking why
She goes to bed and looks at the floor
Because deep down she knows
She can`t take anymore
And her makeup`s running
The fire is burning
Her heart is breaking
Her world`s left shaken
How long could she pretend that she`s okay
And her mask is melting
Her dreams are fading
She`s slowly losing
The life she`s making
How long could she pretend that she`s okay?
Whenever she smiles she`s telling a lie
Because the girl on the inside
Is losing the fight
But she grew a spine
Because her tears were denied
And she tried harder
And she worked faster
So she grew stronger
Climber out of disaster
And her makeup`s running
The fire is burning
Her heart is breaking
Her world`s left shaken
How long could she pretend that she`s okay
And her mask is melting
Her dreams are fading
She`s slowly losing
The life she`s making
How long could she pretend that she`s okay?
