Masquerade

Once I started down a road, never studied where I'd go
Darkness waited on the way, still I never seemed afraid
My appearance said that I was strong and
If I got it wrong, I kept up the masquerade
Now I see the truth I meant to find,
Knowing now that I was only wasting time
So I missed the warning signs, took the hard road every time
Though I missed the easy turns, I don't regret the lessons learned
I took away the mask and let it fall and
Then I saw it all, I was looking straight at you
Now I see the truth I meant to find,
Knowing now that I was only wasting time
