They look at me But they don’t see me They hear me But they don’t listen to me I am alone in this world No one has bothered To really get to know me They just accepted what was already there I am misunderstood Take a closer look I’m still there Hidden beneath the mask You think you know me But you know an act You know what the world wants to see You don’t know me I want you to know me But I won’t give up my mask You have to take it off Even though I’ll put up a struggle I am misunderstood Take a closer look I’m still there Hidden beneath the mask My façade is my protection It keeps the world from seeing My true feelings The pain, the hurt, the sorrow If I keep the mask up And everyone at a distance I can block the feelings That sometimes threatens to overwhelm I am misunderstood Take a closer look I’m still there Hidden beneath the mask But I want someone trying to find me Someone to try and break through the mask But no one has every tried Doesn’t anybody truly care? I want to feel loved and wanted But not for being smart or talented Or pretty or nice I want to be loved for me I am misunderstood Take a closer look I’m still there Hidden beneath the mask You say you care And that you want to help But how do I know you don’t just want To expose my aching soul to the world Just go away I can fix my own problems I don’t want your pity I want your love I am misunderstood Take a closer look I’m still there Hidden beneath the mask It’s useless I know it is No one will save me Because there is no one who cares enough I keep it bottled up I don’t want them to know The feelings that torture me But I’ve found my outlet I am misunderstood Take a closer look I’m still there Hidden beneath the mask When I put it on paper My heart written in words I feel the burden ease slightly It helps me make it through You say you love me But you don’t know who I am You could know If you only took the time I am misunderstood Take a closer look I’m still there Hidden behind the mask |
