The moment he said "would you hate me forever?"
The word that she had typed of course was "yes"
But they met the backspace button
And usually nible, but now retarded fingers hit "N" "O"
And she put on an actresses face agian

He said "Kid, I just don't want you to hurt anymore"
Words were met with sarcasm
A reply of only "bullshit" was given from his lips
Her eyes spread tears
And she put on an actresses face again

And that night when I told you
That I didn't know if I loved you anymore
I lied to keep you from hurting
I know it doesn't make any sense to you
But they always told me
"He deserves better"
Here's to the mask I force myself to wear

A sentance fell from her mouth before she could stop it
"Don't call me kid, it's as bad as calling me whore"
He didn't understand exactly what this meant
"Baby, it's just a reminder of what I'll never have"
And she put on her actress face again

When her "I love you"'s fall about deaf ears
Her tears try so hard to spill over
I can tell you know, friend, this is not your fault
"You're just not good enough for him" said empty sylables
And she puts on her acresses face again

And that night when I told you
That I didn't know if I loved you anymore
I lied to keep you from hurting
I know it doesn't make any sense to you
But they always told me
"He deserves better"
Here's to the mask I force myself to wear

Please, love, tear off this mask
It's so hard to breathe in here
Reveal my aching body
Bleeding with rememberance
Of you
Make it all better like you used to
Tell me you love me
I just need to feel you
Like I felt you before

And she glues on her actresses mask...
