• Feeling fake, unreal and broken
    Torn, lonely and impaired
    I listen to you speak words of her,
    Of beauty, tenderness and loyalties
    Hearing your heart being placed in her hands and not mine,
    Your love being dedicated to her and not me
    I put on a mask of deceit to hide what broken pieces you cannot see

    How I longed to hold and love you forever
    Be hand in hand walking down darkened streets
    Crushed, tattered and destroyed are those thoughts,
    When you spoke of your longing for her to me
    Trying desperately hard now to recover from despair
    I pull it together because you can’t possibly care for me now
    I put on a mask of deceit to hide what broken pieces you cannot see

    I lay quietly now, drowned in my thoughts
    Of you and me, her and you
    Reminding myself of the beautiful happiness in your smile
    I slowly regret my decision to leave you to her
    I know now how I must live my life to keep that smile in place
    I will take it up to conceal what feelings I have left for you
    I put on a mask of deceit to hide what broken pieces you cannot see
