lyrics

I tried to be cool, but I came off as cold
Dripping in diamonds and covered in gold
Presented as a perfect picture to behold
But you left before the auction, or so I am told
So I told
Mmmm

The mask that I wear
Does me no good, no it does me no good anymore
Not that you should care, but if you understood
All the things that I needed it for

It was all a show
Don't you know when I left I had nowhere to go?
And to this day, I still don't know if I'm right
That I chose to walk away
'Cause I'm still here
I'm still here

I tried to be strong and forget what you said
Not to relive my downfalls as I lay down for bed
But with all these little voices that are locked inside my head
I don't know what's the truth or the lies I've been fed
I'm seeing red
Mmmm

The mask that I wear
Does me no good, no it does me no good anymore
Not that you should care, but if you understood
All the things that I needed it for

It was all a show
Don't you know when I left I had nowhere to go?
And to this day, I still don't know if I'm right
That I chose to walk away
'Cause I'm still here
I'm still here

Struggling to find my place in the world
Struggling to find forgiveness for the girl I once was
The girl I once loved

It was all a show
Don't you know when I left I had nowhere to go?
And to this day, I still don't know if I'm right
That I chose to walk away
But I'm still here
I'm still here
