Take your face out that mask
This is all that I ask
That you be, can you be
Real to me
Let me see them old scars,
‘Cause they’re part of who you are
And you ain’t come this far
Without pain
I can see the way you stand
And the tremblin’
Of your hands
You are a weak
And weary man
Don’t hide your broken
Heart from me
Words unspoken
Won’t let me see
The trouble that afflicts you
Hold it in and I predict you
Will never be ok
Take your face out that mask
This is all that I ask
That you be, can you be
Real to me
Let me see them old scars,
‘Cause they’re part of who you are
And you ain’t come this far
Without pain
No, this ain’t no masquerade
And no place, I’m afraid
To play charades
Love doesn’t work that way
You have got to come clean
If you want to be seen
And seein’ is believin’
At least, that’s what they say
I want to believe
Even if I have to grieve
The loss of the man
I thought you were
I will take what’s left
Of you for myself
And I won’t ever
Give it back, no sir
So, Take your face out that mask
This is all that I ask
That you be, can you be
Real to me
Let me see them old scars,
‘Cause they’re part of who you are
And you ain’t come this far
Without pain
Let me see them old scars,
‘Cause they’re part of who you are
And you ain’t come this far
Without pain
