I will not let you see my weakness inside
I bury it deep and wish to hide
Thinking only of being strong
And wishing to try

I will never show it to the world
It tears me apart
And rips out my heart
While destroying my only soul

I will never be like you
A figure of power
And a light in my darkness
An old soul that travels this Earth

I must not let you see my weakness inside
I will put on my mask and hide
I will show you what you want to see
Only me knowing
What is inside me
Only I can know!
