I hid behind that mask again; That makes me look human enough to be loved. All that time I thought of; How repulsed you'd be if; You caught a glimpse of the real me. The more you express your love, The more my heart sinks; My smile dampens; My mind freezes. Cause I can't help but panic as I think, "I must be a great actor, Cause you can't see what's beneath this." What happens when the acting stops? That will probably mean the end; Because the mask you love is too hard to keep up, And eventually it will come off. The real me is undeserving of your love, And truly that *****

Undeserving
I hid behind that mask again; That makes me look human enough to be loved. All that time I thought of; How repulsed you'd be if; You caught a glimpse of the real me. The more you express your love, The more my heart sinks; My smile dampens; My mind freezes. Cause I can't help but panic as I think, "I must be a great actor, Cause you can't see what's beneath this." What happens when the acting stops? That will probably mean the end; Because the mask you love is too hard to keep up, And eventually it will come off. The real me is undeserving of your love, And truly that *****
To my unknown love.
