Lyrics

I was the girl most likely to succeed
Focused on the future my goals set for me
I climbed the corporate ladder rung by rung
Relationships were pushed to second place
When the climb came to a stop I found it lonely a the top
Success left a hollow smile upon my face

I learned to wear the mask of happiness
Learned to hold my head up all the while
I conceal the way I feel, hide the demons of my past
Teardrops fall but the world just sees my smile
Outside I'm a fortress, inside I regress
And hide behind the mask of happiness

My biggest regret was your heartfelt plea
Bags were packed but you didn't want to leave
In my heart I knew I should compromise
My body trembled with our last embrace
Instead of asking you to stay I just watched you walk away
Then no one saw the tears fall down my face

REPEAT CHORUS

Then on that fateful night
You showed up at my door
With a single rose and a smile to melt my heart
Tears filled my eyes
When I read "give us one more try"
With a question mark hand written on your card

Now here I stand naked before the world
No fears, no façade to hide behind
No emptiness inside, all my demons exercised
Tears of joy and my smile is genuine
No Failures, no regrets, no more bitterness
With your love I've found true happiness
