may laugh, may smile, maybe someone will
may feel it hurt sometimes
but that's all that they want from me
may tell you lies, maybe sometimes won't
hide behind this mask I'm told
is that all that they want from me?

won't you come back
and see the tears you face again
it's all in my hands

throw my hands up
'til i see your face i won't give it up
just leave me here to cry, yeah
throw my hands up
'til i see your face i won't give it up
just leave me here to cry

may be over for you on the outside
but when it's all in my hands
won't force myself when i just can't
is that all that they want?

break my shell, shed no tear,
take my soul, but leave me here,
alone, ashamed, with no care,
turn away and leave me there.
