Masked Emotions: Navigating Pain, Lies, and Hope
Lyrics
The hollowness that I've felt from the start
The emptiness and lack of fulfillment that I've experienced from the beginning.
It hides beneath empty words like a mask
This hollowness is concealed beneath insincere or meaningless words, acting like a disguise.
Don’t make me say 'you’ll be okay'
Don't force me to reassure you with 'you'll be okay.'
When I’ve been here forever
Despite being present for a long time, my feelings have remained unnoticed.
No matter how I try to keep you safe this time
Despite my efforts to protect you this time,
'It'll get better' I remind you every time
I repeatedly tell you 'It'll get better,' attempting to provide comfort.
But now the truth is I I’m sick of telling lies
Now, I'm tired of deceiving, and the truth is revealed; I'm weary of telling lies.
When the ghost in the mirror is dying inside
Internally, I'm suffering and deteriorating like a ghost in the mirror.
Feel my misery kill the memory
My pain is so intense that it overpowers and eradicates memories.
Hiding beneath all the pain
This misery is hidden beneath the facade of pain.
If I lie to myself that it doesn't hurt
If I deceive myself into thinking it doesn't hurt,
I hope you'll be happy again
I wish for your happiness, even if it's a false reassurance.
Feel the tragedy kill the agony
The tragic circumstances are causing unbearable pain,
Watching you wasting away
Observing you deteriorate is agonizing.
And it hurts to pretend that I'm not the same
It's painful to pretend that I'm unaffected,
But for you I'd do it again
But I would endure it again for your sake.
It's easy to hide the pain with no tears tears left to cry
It's easy to conceal the emotional pain when there are no tears left to cry.
When I fall astray just promise me I’m not buried in vain
Even when I stray from the right path, promise me that my efforts are not in vain.
Will you forgive me for lying this time
Seeking forgiveness for lying this time,
I only wanted to know that you’re fine
I only wanted assurance that you're doing well.
I'm wondering how I'm still alive
I contemplate how I'm still surviving despite the challenges.
I hope you'll turn back here
I hope you'll return to me eventually.
