Do you ever feel like nobody cares how you’re really doing, and everyone just wants you to play a role? This song is about having to present the version of you that the world wants rather than your most authentic self, especially when going through difficult times.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
"Hey, how you been?
I haven't seen you in"
Here we go again (Here we go again)
So I try to smile
"Hey, yeah, it's been a while"
Time to play pretend

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't see circles 'neath my eyes
From sleepless nights I burned and cried
And don't see that I'm broken inside

[Chorus]
Yeah, the glitz and glam and glitter's a cute charade
A pretty little mask to keep the world unafraid (Yeah)
I'll be the brightest star at the masquerade
Midnight masquerade

[Interlude]
(Midnight masquerade)

[Verse 2]
Don't let it show
Anywhere you go
No one wants to know (Really wants to know)
Even when they ask
They just want your mask
Keep the status quo (Keep the status quo)

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't see white strands in my hair
From countless days full of despair
And don't see that I'm beyond repair

[Chorus]
Yeah, the glitz and glam and glitter's a cute charade
A pretty little mask to keep the world unafraid (Yeah)
I'll be the brightest star at the masquerade
Midnight masquerade

[Bridge]
I can entertain
I can hide my pain
In the masquerade (Midnight masquerade)
I won't burden you
With what's real and true
In the masquerade
(In the masquerade)

[Chorus]
Yeah, the glitz and glam and glitter's a cute charade
A pretty little mask to keep the world unafraid (Yeah)
I'll be the brightest star at the masquerade
Midnight masquerade (Yeah)
I'll be the brightest star at the masquerade
Midnight masquerade
