Streetlights stretch my shadow far away
You hold your glass and fade into the noisy haze
Jokes are floating lightly in the air
No one sees your hands clenched tight in despair
Convenience store lights feel a little cold
You fix your suit in the glass as you behold
How many times must the reports be revised
How many coffees till the sunrise
You’re the one who laughs and goes along the crowd
You’re the one who’s silent when the night falls down
You’re the one who’s kind to everyone around
You’re the one who’s hard on yourself deep down
The mask you wear grows into your skin with time
The one in the mirror blurs in your mind
I wanna ask if you’re tired, but words stay inside
Scattered by the wind as a transparent sigh
Wind at the subway flaps your clothes aside
You tilt your umbrella for the strangers passing by
You polish your posts online with care
Delete all the sad words you wanted to share
You’re the one who laughs and goes along the crowd
You’re the one who’s silent when the night falls down
You’re the one who’s kind to everyone around
You’re the one who’s hard on yourself deep down
The mask you wear grows into your skin with time
The one in the mirror blurs in your mind
I wanna ask if you’re tired, but words stay inside
Scattered by the wind as a transparent sigh
If one day you take off all your armor tight
Could you cry like a child till your eyes are dry
Let go of all the exhaustion you hold inside
Let the real you bathe in the moonlight
You’re the one who laughs and goes along the crowd
You’re the one who’s silent when the night falls down
You’re the one who’s kind to everyone around
You’re the one who’s hard on yourself deep down
The mask you wear grows into your skin with time
The one in the mirror blurs in your mind
I wanna ask if you’re tired, but words stay inside
Scattered by the wind as a transparent sigh
