Analysis of Good Times
Jessikah Bailey 1988 (United States)
sometimes i wear a mask with you
wondering if you see right through
this shield of happiness that coincides
with the pain i'm hiding deep inside
i wish that i could just be real
and tell you how this hiding feels
i have stopped being me and now i'm just
the girl that you want to see
every once in a while the real me comes out
but she never stays long because
my feelings for you are so strong
if i could i would take away
all these clouds that seem so gray
and bring sunshine into our lives and
there would be nothing but good times
