Take off, take off, strip off the mask Take off, take off, as the true me [Verse 1] Everyone's making merry, dressed as witches and vampires Swinging heart charms and laughing out loud I'm just in my everyday clothes, with only one thing A tiny ribbon—and that's my grand adventure [Pre-Chorus] No one might even notice, but Inside my heart is a costume party I've gotten good at pretending to be a good person Swallowing down both what I like and what I dislike [Chorus] Take off the mask, Halloween Night Goodbye to the temporary me What I'm afraid of isn't ghosts or monsters It's the "I love it" and "I hate it" left unspoken Hey, I really hate staying like this, don't I? Take off, take off, strip off the mask Take off, take off, as the true me [Pre-Chorus 2] Still unable to join that cheerful circle Searching for the right moment to laugh Even without putting on a costume I've been wearing a disguise all along [Chorus] Take off the mask, Halloween Night Goodbye to the temporary me What I'm afraid of isn't ghosts or monsters It's the "I love it" and "I hate it" left unspoken Hey, is it really okay for me to stay like this? Take off, take off, strip off the mask Take off, take off, as the true me [Bridge] Even the "I disagree" I couldn't say Even the "No way" I couldn't speak Maybe tonight, I can finally say them The bell tolls, the spell breaks Before that happens, lift your head up [Final Chorus] Take off the mask, Halloween Night Goodbye to the temporary me What I'm afraid of isn't ghosts or monsters It's the "I love it" and "I hate it" left unspoken Hey, I really hate staying like this, don't I? Take off, take off, strip off the mask Take off, take off, as the true me
