If I Shed My Mask…
Would you even know who I am
You’ve held me each day
Wrapped me in your arms
And kissed me goodnight
But still I wonder
If I Shed My Mask…
Would you look past my scars
Would you love me for me
Would you defend my honor
Or
Would you just say goodbye
And make me cry?
Because a criminal stole my
Beauty
And left me hiding behind a mask
That barely covers my scars
If I Shed My Mask…
My love will remain grounded
I will have no fear
And will live in the clear
For where there is no shame
There is a clear sense of justice
That again makes me whole
And my happiness will prevail once more
