the mask

Sometimes I wonder what it's like To never have to hide Who gets to decide Who plays the game and who sits on the sidelines Why do I wear the mask Who told me to put it on in the first place I'm tired of wondering how to act Feels like my whole life's been one long race And baby I'm coming in last How does it feel not to run away Cause I'd rather run than ask someone to stay Anytime someone gets close to me I wonder if it's because they like who I chose to be Why do I wear the mask Who told me to put it on in the first place I'm tired of wondering how to act Feels like my whole life's been one long race And baby I'm coming in last Keep everyone at an arm's length You're the only one with the strength Leave the baby in the cradle all alone She may cry But she'll figure it out on her own Why do I wear the mask Who told me to put it on in the first place I'm tired of wondering how to act Feels like my whole life's been one long race And baby I'm coming in last Oh, I'm coming in last I'm coming in last Oh, I'm coming in last
