I'm an actress Everyday I put on my mask and go out in the world I act like I don't care Like I'm fine Like it doesn't really bother me Like every single couple doesn't get in my head Like it doesn't hurt me to say your name On stage, I'm not as good My "real" emotions don't come across as well I can't cover up the mask I wear everyday with another one A fake one I'm artificial enough as it it I'm superficial I don't let people in They know as much as I want them to and no more People will never understand I'm a world class thespian But no one knows
