Gain one friend, but lose another
If that's how we play
I just can't be around you now
Come back another day
Putting on the mask for you
Thought I tried my best
It wasn't good enough for you
I didn't pass the test
I'm not sure how to take this
I thought I was prepared
Anything can happen....
but still, inside I'm scared
Trying to open up to people
and let the real me come through
Get used to the idea
I'll always freeze up around you
I don't know what to do anymore
Or know what to say
Tomorrow brings another unknown
but all I want is a brand new day.

Hold on, it gets better than you know....

never wear masks for anyone

be yourself, and that's all that should matter to one who really cares

your heart. I hope things are better now.
