Lyrics

[Verse 1] Perception was always a foreign concept Hated feeling like I'd give my all to someone I'd never know Tried to conform to the mold to build the right reputation Performed my own life like it's a show But nobody seems to know Nobody seems to know me [Chorus] I mask how I feel for friends Slowly crafted every word I've said Give them the short explanation to the mascara stains Condense and formulate the stories behind my mistakes My parents never knew the inner workings of my life Never knew who I was with when I was out all night And the observers only caught glimpses of the facade I've built And the pain grows dull, but I feel it still [Verse 2] I smile in the way that I naturally do Speak the first words that come to mind Let my brain slow down so I can feel every moment Maybe you won't like who you get Maybe who I truly am is the reason the others left But at least with you I'm the purest me [Chorus] I mask how I feel for friends Slowly crafted every word I've said Give them the short explanation to the mascara stains Condense and formulate the stories behind my mistakes My parents never knew the inner workings of my life Never knew who I was with when I was out all night And the observers only caught glimpses of the facade I've built But I only need those close to know what's real Now the pain grows dull, and I'm nearly healed [Bridge] My complexities became simple through your translation The things I've never loved quite as much as the whole You've made me realise are part of my divine creation Now's the time to make it known I love you, I love you, I love you I love you, I'm in love, I'm in love I love you, I love you, I love you I love you, I'm in love, I'm in love [Verse 3] Am I who I am through outside view? Does that even matter I am who I love when I am with you As long as I'm happy with me I'll be happy
