lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stop – let me give you an easy task
Think - when did you last take off the mask
Because of your self-consciousness
Feeling like you have to compare

Stuck, but you look so confident
Not finding words to compliment
yourself, you’re pulling out your hair
And the world is so unfair

[Pre-chorus]
Jealousy and hankering
True self always hampering
You wanna be someone that you’re not
But you’re better of using what you’ve got

[Chorus]
We’re hiding behind the curtains too much
The more we stay the more we’re confused
We are afraid that if we’re not perfect, they’ll judge
It’s a real life theater

[Verse 2]
If you don’t have a good enough reputation
You are not recognised as a good person
So you fake and lie which is so ironic
It becomes a mask and it gets chronic

If you don’t have a good enough reputation
You might need to buy a bit of admiration
So your shiny lies get so repetitive
Ratings get much more competitive

[Pre-chorus]
Jealousy and hankering
True self always hampering
You wanna be someone that you’re not
But you’re better of using what you’ve got

[Chorus]
We’re hiding behind the curtains too much
The more we stay the more we’re confused
We are afraid that if we’re not perfect, they’ll judge
It’s a real life theater

[Solo]

[Chorus]
The lights are now shining the curtains have part
They show the truth when no one else can
A stage for our fears, our intentions, our heart
It’s a real life theater
