Under the Mask

Lyrics

Verse 1
Olivia in the ballroom glow
Same old smiles, same old show
Dad’s name on every plate
Gold forks, dry champagne taste

She’s bored of the polite parade
The nods, the lies, the deals they made
Then a mask across the room
One look, and the air went boom

Pre-Chorus
He said, “Dance like you mean it”
Close enough to feel it
Hands on fire, eyes locked in
One hot night, I was all in

Chorus
Under the mask, under the mask
We were a spark nobody could ask
Under the mask, under the mask
One wrong kiss, and it hit too fast
We should walk away, we should walk away
But your name still stays
Under the mask, under the mask
I can’t go back

Verse 2
By dawn, the room felt fake
Perfume, ash, and a heartache ache
Then his face on the evening news
Reginald with the winning shoes

Running hard against her father’s seat
Same cold grin, same clean suite
Now the truth lands like a stone
I fell for the one I should’ve known

Pre-Chorus
They said, “This ends tonight”
But you pulled me back in slight
Every vow got hard to keep
When you showed up in my sleep

Chorus
Under the mask, under the mask
We were a spark nobody could ask
Under the mask, under the mask
One wrong kiss, and it hit too fast
We should walk away, we should walk away
But your name still stays
Under the mask, under the mask
I can’t go back

Bridge
Now the cameras want a war
I hate the way they know us more
Your hand brushed mine in the hall
That was all, that was all

If I leave, I lose the flame
If I stay, I wear the shame
Still your eyes pull me near
Even with the truth so clear

Final Chorus
Under the mask, under the mask
We were a spark nobody could ask
Under the mask, under the mask
One wrong kiss, and it hit too fast
We should walk away, we should walk away
But your name still stays
Under the mask, under the mask
I can’t go back

Outro
Olivia, don’t look back
Reginald, don’t look back
Under the mask, under the mask
We already cracked
