Am I the only one that's failed?
Am I the only 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 that hide our pain.
But, if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain - on the 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 alter for a stage?
The performance is convincing
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?
Or would the love of Jesus be enough to make you stay?
Are we happy plastic people?
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles that hide our pain
But, if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain on the stained glass masquerade.
