[Verse 1: Abbie Kats] I wanted you to believe I could be anything you needed I am an actress with a million masks One for mother, for father, for sister, for brother Mask for a friend, mask for a foe And the mask for love was the thinnest of all But my mask was not good enough for you I removed my mask for you [Pre-Chorus 1: Curly] But still the real me was not enough Now i'm running from fairy tales Chasing me down, no more masks It's not enough, I won't escape this crippled love [Chorus: Unison] How many masks do I need? When will you see? That my masks are only so I can keep guarded And this fragile heart, once open to you Now trying to hide from all that you started I've had just enough you don't have to ask [Curly] I'll never give you back your mask! [Verse 2: Curly] You were, nothing that I wanted But everything I needed Before I knew it, the walls had crumbled, the masks were gone Before I could tell you, you had all of me You'd left, wearing a mask of your own, you took it all with you
A never ending river of joy and sadness 'til there was nothing left of me, not even the dream of the mask [Pre-Chorus 2: Abbie Kats] But still you ask me for a new mask What can I do to show you? [Curly] I have fallen, I'm so close to [Unison] Hitting the ground, what can I do with this twisted love? [Chorus] [Bridge: Curly] I won't lie any longer Not for you, not for me Never again will I put on a mask [Abbie Kats] You will have to accept the real me Because I accepted when the real you [Unison] Was nothing I wanted, but all that I needed [Chorus: Unison] [Chorus 2: Unison] How many masks do I need? When will you see? All my masks where only so I could keep guarded And this fragile heart, still open to you Now trying to get back all that you started I've had just enough, you don't have to ask [Curly] My mask and yours were only shows I still love you, and now you know [Abbie Kats] My mask and yours were only shows I still love you, and now you know
