You weren't him, that's what drew me in I'll admit that I fell for it I love the way I felt in your strong arms It 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 Feel 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 the hand In your eyes, I saw a different man Screaming like a stranger into 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 Feel 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 Feel safe enough to let your armor drop 'Cause you couldn't take the mask off Take the mask off Oh, take the mask off Oh-oh
