LYRICS:

HEY, I GOT THINGS INSIDE OF ME
THINGS I DON’T LET PEOPLE SEE
I SAY I’M FINE BECAUSE I KNOW THEY SEE ME STRONG
BEHIND MY EYES INSIDE MY SOLE
FEELS LIKE I’M DIGGIN’ A DEEPER HOLE
BUT I PUT ON A SMILE, I LIE AND I HOLD ON

CAUSE WHEN I GET HOME AND IT’S LATE AT NIGHT
NO ONE’S AROUND AND I TURN OFF THE LIGHT
I CRY AND SCREAM, AND YELL LIKE A CRAZY MAN
I DON’T HAVE TO PRETEND THAT I’M DOING WELL
I CAN TELL THE WORLD IT CAN GO TO HELL
IT’S JUST ME AND GOD WHEN I TAKE OFF THE MASK

THEY SAY YOU’VE GOT SO MUCH GOING ON
BUT IN THIS CROWD, I’M STILL ALONE
BUT THEY DON’T KNOW ‘CAUSE I HOLD MY HEAD UP HIGH
THERE’S TIMES I CAN’T GET OUT OF BED
I’M GOING ROUND AND ROUND INSIDE MY HEAD
THAT’S WHEN I SLIP IT ON SO I CAN HIDE

AND WHEN I GET HOME AND IT’S LATE AT NIGHT
NO ONE’S AROUND AND I TURN OFF THE LIGHT
I CRY AND SCREAM, AND YELL LIKE A CRAZY MAN
I DON’T HAVE TO PRETEND THAT I’M DOING WELL
I CAN TELL THE WORLD IT CAN GO TO HELL
IT’S JUST ME AND GOD WHEN I TAKE OFF THE MASK

I WON’T GIVE UP
I WON’T GIVE IN
I WON’T TAKE IT OFF
TELL I’M WITH HIM

BUT WHEN I GET HOME AND IT’S LATE AT NIGHT
NO ONE’S AROUND AND I TURN OFF THE LIGHT
I CRY AND SCREAM, AND YELL LIKE A CRAZY MAN
I DON’T HAVE TO PRETEND THAT I’M DOING WELL
I CAN TELL THE WORLD IT CAN GO TO HELL
IT’S JUST ME AND GOD WHEN I TAKE OFF THE MASK

I've been wearing this mask for quite some time. Lost my 35 year old son to a motorcycle accident and then three years later, I lost my 41 year old daughter to cancer. The pain never goes away, you just keep wearing the mask.

I am living this now, I lost my husband of 42 years on May 27th. It is so lonely in this house, especially at night. People call and check on me, my sister every day, and my response is the same, I am fine, I am doing ok, and for the most part I am, until the quiet that is nighttime. Thank you Craig for a song that speaks my heart. ❤️

This song hits home so much. I'm a frontline healthcare worker. In my town there have been 15 covid deaths. I personally knew 14 of them. To top it all off my cousin died of covid, grandma had a stroke, one of my cats was run over and we had to put a dog to sleep. I've been recovering from a bad lung infection and unable to work this week. 2020 sucks. There have been a few times where I come home, "take off my mask" and just cry. I know things will go back to normal. Its just hard right now.

[mikeyfitzy]

I was hoping you’d put this up tonight. Couldn’t wait for the studio recording of this song. God Bless.

[joshasberry]

[stevencordell]

[crazydave]

God bless you and your family. I died for 10 minutes on the operating table and got to see my mom I lost too early and my son Jonah I never got to meet. God knows your heart better than you think

[crucial]

I’m going threw a lot right now and this song was a sign

[jamiemalone]

Love you gn God bless you and your family

[tiapayne]

This is all of us at different points of our lives. I try to keep on a mask until I get home. I am struggling with multiple things and try not to myself to be someone else' burden. I am just glad that God can handle who I am on the inside.

[nascarandrew]

One hundred percent agree with this song thank you Craig Morgan so glad to have you back

[mmfirecracker]

Even though I’m not married and don’t have kids or lost any of them (so sorry to those who did lose their kids and that’s gotta be tough especially for Craig Morgan), this is a song that I can relate to so much. I’m on the Autism Spectrum, diagnosed at the age of 5, and when I go out and socialize with other people, I’ll usually fake and hide my true identity for a while when I talk to someone, and the term that autism experts use for that is called “Masking.” I do take off that mask just before bedtime and let my true self run wild. Talking to myself, stimming, and other things I wouldn’t otherwise do in public since there’s some things I do that just wouldn’t fly because it’s not “socially acceptable.” After all, it is just me and God, and won’t completely take off that mask until I’m upstairs with Him.

[williamroylance]

I totally totally agree with this song I do this quite a bit too I feel this song is deeply me

[cindyremmers]

This is my life...I lost my daughter five years ago and I feel like I have to put on a mask in public and I feel all alone... Everybody tells me how strong I am, but when I get home...

[allisonciaramitaro]

This song is so true about many of our combat veterans. So very sad to witness. We need to let them know it's okay to feel and to express those feelings, it's not a sign of weakness. It takes a great deal of strength to be able to talk about the things they have witnessed.
No amount of gratitude will ever be enough.
If you can't stand beside our troops feel free to stand in front of them,
Once again y'all nailed it. Thank you,

[larryjames]

Keep going brother! Praying with you and your family! We gonna be alright!

[sammiewilson]

Craig Morgan can never disappoint! Another great song Mr. Morgan
