Isn’t that the reason that I hide?

Standing in front of the mirror
Looking down at my mask collection
We have a mad girl, smiling woman, and the crazy fangirl
Glancing at the calendar
Seeing if there’s a crowd that I have to meet today
Leaving them up for the decision
They will be the one choosing my mask for today
So who do you want me to be?
Classical Jayne Eyre or Belle from Beauty and the Beast
I could be the grinning lady
Or the shining glittering little kid
Just name anybody you can think of
I would dive into their skin, soul, and mind
Cause it must be too boring to be just me myself and I
Isn’t that the reason that I hide?
I’m the one who’s anger is funny to others
The one who leaves the room to take a few deep breaths
Because if I stay a minute longer
The fun moment turns into a huge regret
I’ve always been an easy target
The one who everyone points and laughs at
Funny thing is I sometimes join them
Want to see a glimpse of the clown with the giant looser hat
Want to understand why my feelings are a joke
Or figure out why my heart’s destined to be broke
If I could stop one thing for sure
It would be the never ending aching of my soul
So tell me who should I dress up as today
Scroll through your options and make your decision
So who do you want me to be?
Classical Jayne Eyre or Belle from Beauty and the Beast
I could be the grinning lady
Or the shining glittering little kid
Just name anybody you can think of
I would dive into their skin, soul, and mind
Cause it must be too boring to be just me myself and I
Isn’t that the reason that I hide?
I stand in the center of the circus
I let them laugh at me and use all their face paints
I let the audience to laugh and laugh and laugh
So maybe I could feel good about myself
I will be everyone’s entertainer for the night
I would sing poorly, stumble, and dance, maybe then I won’t lose my mind
Maybe then I could catch a glimpse of me myself and I
So who do you want me to be?
Classical Jayne Eyre or Belle from Beauty and the Beast
I could be the grinning lady
Or the shining glittering little kid
Just name anybody you can think of
I would dive into their skin, soul, and mind
Cause it must be too boring to be just me myself and I
Isn’t that the reason that I hide?
I’m the girl who’s easy to bully
The one who stands in an arena with no ally
I’m the clown who makes the people laugh
The imposter standing in front of the mirror choosing her mask
