THE MAN BEHIND THE MASK

They ask me how I'm doing, and I say "I'm doing fine" But they don't see the tears that I cry And I just fake a smile, but they don't know the half They don't know the man behind the mask Why'd she have to leave me? I wish she would've stayed Just take me back to yesterday I don't believe in love, 'cause it never lasts They don't know the man behind the mask They say congratulations, but I'm going through hell Been masquerading as someone else They think I'm made of steel, but my heart is made of glass They don't know the man behind the mask The last time that I saw you, didn't know it'd be the last I wish I said I loved you before you passed They ask me how I'm doing, and I hide behind a laugh They don't know the man behind the mask Nobody knows, nobody knows Nobody knows, nobody knows Nobody knows, nobody knows Nobody knows, nobody knows I opened up my heart, but they didn't understand That's why I hide who I am You could shake my hand, but you'll never know the man You'll never know the man behind the mask
