## Lyrics
[verse]
I wear a smile that fits me like a borrowed coat
Laugh at every joke while my heart's a sinking boat
Nobody sees the actor standing on this stage
Playing out a role that's turning every page

[chorus]
I'm the one who fools them all
Standing tall while I'm ready to fall
I'm the master of the mask I wear
Nobody knows the truth that's hiding there

[verse]
I walk these streets with my head held up so high
Wave to everybody, never let them see me cry
The show goes on each morning when I rise
Another day of hiding what's behind my eyes

[chorus]
I'm the one who fools them all
Standing tall while I'm ready to fall
I'm the master of the mask I wear
Nobody knows the truth that's hiding there

[bridge]
Strings are weeping soft beneath this lie I tell
Underneath the costume I'm not doing well
Someday maybe I'll let the curtain fall
And show the world what's real behind it all

[chorus]
I'm the one who fools them all
Standing tall while I'm ready to fall
I'm the master of the mask I wear
Nobody knows the truth that's hiding there
