Is there anyone that fails? Is there anyone that falls? Am I the only one in church today feeling so small. Cause when I take a look around, everybody seems so strong. I know they'll soon discover that I don't belong.
So I tuck it all away, like everything's okay. If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too. So with a painted grin, I play the part again. So everyone will see me the way that I see them.
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade
Is there anyone who's been there? Are there any hands to raise? Am I the only one who's traded in the altar for a stage?
The performance is convincing, and we know every line by heart. Only when no one is watching can we really fall apart.
But would it set me free
If I dared to let you see
The truth behind the person
That you imagine me to be
Would your arms be open
Or would you walk away
Would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay
would the love of Jesus, be enough to make you stay.
