I wear a mask with a smile for hours at a time Stare at the ceiling while I hold back what's on my mind And when they ask me how I'm doing I say, "I'm just fine" And when they ask me how I'm doing I say, "I'm just fine" But the fact is I can never get off of my mattress And all that they can ask is "Why are you so sad, kid?" (Why are you so sad, kid?) That's what the mask is That's what the point of the mask is So you can see I'm tryin' You won't see me cryin' I'll just keep on smilin', I'm good (yeah, I'm good) And it just keeps on pilin' It's so terrifying But I keep on smilin', I'm good (yeah, I'm good) I've been carin' too much for so long Been comparin' myself for so long Been wearin' a smile for so long, it's real So long, it's real, so long, it's real Always bein' judged by a bunch of strange faces Scared to go outside, haven't seen the light in ages But I've been places So I'm okay-ish, so I'm okay-ish
