"THE MAN BEHIND THE MASK" lyrics

They ask me how I'm doing, and I say I'm doing fine
But they don't see the tears that I cry
And I just fake a smile, but they don't know the half
They don't know the man behind the mask

Why'd she have to leave me? I wish she would've stayed
Just take me back to yesterday
I don't believe in love, 'cause it never lasts
They don't know the man behind the mask

They say, "Congratulations," but I'm going through hell
Been masquerading as someone else
They think I'm made of steel, but my heart is made of glass
They don't know the man behind the mask

The last time that I saw you, didn't know it'd be the last
I wish I said I loved you before you passed
They ask me how I'm doing and I hide behind a laugh
They don't know the man behind the mask

Nobody knows, nobody knows
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Nobody knows, nobody knows

Opened up my heart, but they didn't understand
That's why I hide who I am
You could shake my hand, but you'll never know the man
You'll never know the man behind the mask
