Among the crowd I stand alone
A smile like a flower yet no one knows
Time sets the stage emotions run deep
But in the end I perform a solo unseen
A play unfolds a dream in disguise
But the light of expectation never meets my eyes
I wear a mask not my own face
Lost in applause I lose my place
They laugh as I smile but the heart is cold
For happiness it seems is a story untold
The loneliest thing is to act a part
In the expectations of others losing my heart
When pretense becomes truth shadows take the stage
Whose happiness can I live when Im locked in a cage
In the mirror a fleeting reflection
No one knows the fractures in my direction
I dance on a smile in bloom
But for whom do I wear this costume
The dreams I hold who will save me now
I search for an exit but I dont know how
The loneliest thing is to act a part
In the expectations of others losing my heart
When pretense becomes truth shadows take the stage
Whose happiness can I live when Im locked in a cage
No more acting Ill shed the disguise
The true me holds the key to the prize
Let my heart soar like the wind in the sky
In my own world Ill find joy and fly
