Every morning I put on this mask

Pretending everything's on track

But beneath the surface, something's wrong

Been playing this game for far too long

(Oh-oh-oh)

The reflection in my mind

Shows a different side

Can't keep running away

From what's inside

When will I stop running from myself?

When will I start being real with myself?

(Yeah, yeah)

You saw right through my practiced smile

Said I was living in denial

Truth hits harder than I thought

All these feelings that I fought

(Oh-oh-oh)

Every word you speak cuts deep

Through the lies I try to keep

Time to face what's in my heart

Before it tears me apart

The walls I built so high

Starting to crack and fly

Can't keep hiding away

It's time to break free today

When will I stop running from myself?

When will I start being real with myself?

(Yeah, yeah)

Standing at the edge of change

Something's gotta give

Can't keep playing this game

Gotta learn to live

(Oh-whoa-oh)

Breaking down these barriers

One by one they fall

Finding strength in honesty

Answering the call

The truth that's in my soul

Finally takes control

No more running away

Today's the day

When will I stop running from myself?

When will I start being real with myself?

(Yeah, yeah)

(Real with myself, oh)

(Finally being real)

(Oh-oh-oh)
