Masquerade

Out of me you bring a side
That I choose not to show
My compassion I try to hide
So nobody can know

So my approach is really dry
Blinding all from the spirit
I live with too much pride
At times I begin to fear it

But truth is I love you hard
You’re everything I want and need
But I put this shield up to guard
Allowing me to breathe

Just in case you take advantage
Catching me while I’m weak
Taking my love for granted
Forever putting me to sleep

Just wanting you to hear
Exactly how I feel
Because when I say I care
I really do forreal

I will always be the man
To hold you while it’s dark
I’m trusting your hands
To have possession of my heart
