A Pleasure To Have In Class

Lyrics

Last night you heard me talking in my sleep Giving everybody else advice 'Til there was none left for me For so long I've been wearing this mask I don't even know when the real me is coming back And my patience Is wearing down (Wearing down) "Look at me, young woman, when I'm talking to you," they say "But looking in your eyes is something I just can't do," I say I look away and you wonder why You just don't get to decide Whether you see my soul My soul that's deep inside I say a prayer before I eat And I smile at еverybody I meet So why do I feel like something's missing? Can you see this mask I wеar so well? I'm faking and you can't even tell They even said you're not like the others they'd met before Now they always told me I should be myself But little old me, I had to protect myself Learning the hard way, I locked up that door Promised myself I wouldn't get hurt no more But now that I'm grown, what if I've lost the key And I die not knowing the real me? No, I can't go to my grave without being brave, you'll see (When will I know?) When will I know? (When will I know?) When will I know When I finally find Where did I hide This lost soul of mine? I say a prayer before I eat And I smile at everybody I meet So why do I feel like something's missing? Can you see this mask I wear so well? I'm faking and you can't even tell They even said you're not like the others they'd met before Ever since I was a little child (Ooh-ooh-ooh) Something's missing now, baby Oh, it's way deep inside of me And It twists and it turns (Ooh-ooh-ooh) And it aches and it burns (Wooh-ooh-ohh) (Mask I wear so well...) Am I not made for this world? I knew it since I was a little girl
