Mask of Innocence
I look in the mirror at a mask of innocence
She, that girl in the mirror, is not real
Her face is familiar but what I have done, she could never do
She has done nothing wrong
I have never done anything right
Everything keeps getting worse
As time goes on
And soon it’ll be too late to come back
From all this complication and hurt
When enough time passes
I won’t be able to remember
It’ll just be another scar in the life of me
Always there, visible but not important
As I put on the mask of innocence
She, that girl in the mirror, is not real
Her face is familiar but what I have done, she could never do
She has done nothing wrong
I have never done anything right
Everything keeps getting worse
As time goes on
And soon it’ll be too late to come back
From all this complication and hurt
When enough time passes
I won’t be able to remember
It’ll just be another scar in the life of me
Always there, visible but not important
As I put on the mask of innocence
