[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
