Mask

You weren't him, that's what drew me in

I'll admit that I fell for it

Loved the way I felt in your strong arms

Felt like I could fall with my whole heart

And I saw what you wanted me to see

In your eyes, you were the same as me

A mirror, forever, oh, but now I know better

I wanted to know you

Wanted to show you

I could love who you are and who you're not

But you couldn't take the mask off

I wanted to save you

But I couldn't make you

Safe enough to let your armor drop

'Cause you couldn't take the mask off

Take the mask off

The first time that you raised a hand

In your eyes, I saw a different man

Screaming like a stranger in my face

Made me wonder who you were in the first place

I wanted to know you

Wanted to show you

I could love who you are and who you're not

But you couldn't take the mask off

I wanted to save you

But I couldn't make you

Safe enough to let your armor drop

'Cause you couldn't take the mask off

Take the mask off

Take the mask off

And I still, still love you

Always will, at least the you I thought I knew

I wanted to know you

Wanted to show you

I could love who you are and who you're not

But you couldn't take the mask off

I wanted to save you

But I couldn't make you

Safe enough to let your armor drop

'Cause you couldn't take the mask off

Take the mask off

Take the mask off
