Secondhaven - Masquerade Lyrics

Time and time again
I'm left abandoned shattered alone
I've lost all hope
I faked a smile
I faked my courage

I faked a sense of hope
Look at me for who I really am
Not for what you thought I'd be
I've grown too good at masking all my flaws
I never met your expectations and I never will

Look at me for who I really am

One by one I watched them leave
I watched them turn their backs on me

I was never worth it
I was never worth their fucking time
Leave me behind
Discard me like the waste I am

Leave me behind

I faked a sense of hope
Look at me for who I really am
Not for what you thought I'd be
I've grown too good at masking all my flaws
I never met your expectations and I never will
Look at me for who I really am

For years I've had everything I love slowly disappear
At times it gets the best of me
Why must everything I hold dearly leave me as if it were nothing?

I'm left to face the world alone
Everyone I've ever loved has failed me
I'm left to face the world alone
The ones who claimed to love me have faded away, like the hope that's left inside of me
I watched the faces disappear while I stay behind
I'd rather face this in my own
I'm broken but this is who I am
This is who I'll always be

This is who I'll always be
