Mask Songtext
von Sara Evans

You weren′t him, that's what drew me in
I′ll admit that I fell for it
Loved the way I felt in your strong arms
Felt like I could fall with my whole heart
And I saw what you wanted me to see
In your eyes, you were the same as me
A mirror, forever, oh, but now I know better

I wanted to know you
Wanted to show you
I could love who you are and who you're not
But you couldn't take the mask off
I wanted to save you
But I couldn′t make you
Safe enough to let your armor drop
′Cause you couldn't take the mask off
Take the mask off


The first time that you raised a hand
In your eyes, I saw a different man
Screaming like a stranger in my face
Made me wonder who you were in the first place

I wanted to know you
Wanted to show you
I could love who you are and who you′re not
But you couldn't take the mask off
I wanted to save you
But I couldn′t make you
Safe enough to let your armor drop
'Cause you couldn′t take the mask off
Take the mask off
Take the mask off

And I still, still love you
Always will, at least the you I thought I knew


I wanted to know you
Wanted to show you
I could love who you are and who you're not
But you couldn't take the mask off
I wanted to save you
But I couldn′t make you
Safe enough to let your armor drop
′Cause you couldn't take the mask off
Take the mask off
Take the mask off
