Faking Out

Falling into this role I’m playing
Careful 'bout what I’m sayin'
You don’t want to know the real me
Nervous so I put up boundaries
Conceal it, skirting 'round what I’m feeling
Routine and repetition
Worried that you’re gon' think less of me
Either way I know that I’ll be free
This time I’m letting my guard down
I don’t need any facades now
Finding this feeling I know how
No more faking out
No more faking out
I can’t hide behind these plastic eyes
Breaking through my disguise
Would you recognise me
Curtains drawing to a close
End of show, time to go
I’m not masquerading
Distance tearing my heart to pieces
Hoping to fill these spaces
Picture perfect chasing after me
A mask is but a ghost that you can see
This time I’m letting my guard down
I don’t need any facades now
Finding this feeling I know how
No more faking out
No more faking out
I can’t hide behind these plastic eyes
Breaking through my disguise
Would you recognise me
Curtains drawing to a close
End of show, time to go
I’m not masquerading
This time I’m letting my guard down
I don’t need any facades now
Finding this feeling I know how
No more faking out
No more faking out
This time I’m letting my guard down
I don’t need any facades now
Finding this feeling I know how
No more faking out
No more faking out
I can’t hide behind these plastic eyes
Breaking through my disguise
Would you recognise me
Curtains drawing to a close
End of show, time to go
I’m not masquerading
