I didn't know if you would abandon me,
Or maybe hurt me so.
I didn't know if you would say goodbye,
And make me feel so low.

But I couldn't hide any longer,
The truth just had to come out,
The truth was killing me inside,
And I didn't know what it was about.

So one day I stripped off my mask,
I showed you the sadness,
I showed you that I really wasn't all happiness and joy,
But you never would have guessed.

Well now you know the truth,
But yet you still care.
And that makes me want to live,
My life might be going somewhere.

I learned that with my mask on,
I was really just hiding from the world,
I wasn't letting me live my life,
I was still a little girl.

I wish that you could see me now,
Looking to the stars.
You are so close to my heart,
Even though in life you are so far.
