I thought that I knew what lay ahead

Lay ahead in my life

Whether it be happiness or strife

What was going to happen

What I was going to do

Every little mistake and all the fun

The people I would madden

I was a free dragon

I just minded my own business

Not looking for anything

But it seemed the Fates had other plans

In one day

In one moment

I met you

You turned my world upside down

 

My night turned into day

My darkness turned to light

I can't even say

Try as I might

Try as I may

What you've done to my head

What you've done to my mind

I've been unmasked

(Unmasked)

You've unmasked me

(Unmasked)

I've been left without defences

No more pretences

I hope it's worth it

Because now I've been unmasked

(Unmasked)

 

I've been worrying

Pondering

Contemplating

Was it worth it

Is it worth the risk

Leaving my heart exposed

Not used to it 

Always was compared to the girl who has everything

Watched what I did and said with the whole world watching

Not living up to standards

I screamed and shouted when no one could hear

Would let out a tear, or two

 

My ice turned to fire

My hate turned to desire

What have you done to me

I'm no longer angry

At all

You've unmasked me

(Unmasked me)

Why did you unmask me 

(I've been unmasked)

Left me without my guard

You've knocked them out fast and hard

Don't know what to do

Don't know what to say

I've been left unmasked

(Unmasked)

 

I wish you could be here to tell me

Tell me why

Tell me how

Tell me what

Why did you choose me

Never seeked it

Never actually wanted it

My mask is gone

My defences lowered

Still confused

Still scared

I've been unmasked

(Unmasked)

My mask is gone

(Unmasked)
