I'm not who you think I am
I put a mask on
I disguise myself when I'm around you
I put on an act
I pretend like I'm in a play
I mean I always wanted to be an actress

You see me as what I want you to see me as
Cause that way I'm in control
I'm calling the shots
Making sure every situation goes my way

I'm innocent
Cute
Nerdy
HARMLESS

In your eyes,
I couldn't even hurt a fly
And doing the right thing is my best policy

Or so you think
Yeah
Or so you think
Cause that is how YOU view me

Huh, if you only knew
Cause you're not a mind reader
You don't know what thoughts go on inside my head
You don't know how I act when you're not around
Cause you're not a mind reader
You'll never know

And i'm not going to tell you the truth
I'm lying to protect you
For if you only knew the real me
The monster I try to hide
Then you'd run for the hills

And this thing we have
That you call a relationship
Would be no more
For the sweet innocent girl
Your dream girl
Would not be standing before you

If I took off this mask
You would see that you're staring straight into the devils eyes
