Lyrics

Verse 1

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

Pre Chorus 1

So I tuck it all away
Like everything's okay
If I make 'em 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

Chorus 1

Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
The smiles to hide our pain

Chorus 2

But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained-glass masquerade

Verse 2

Is there anyone who's been there
Are there any hands who 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

Pre Chorus 2

Or would it set me free
If I dared to let you see
The truth behind the person
That you imagine me to be
Or would your arms be open
Or would you walk away
Or would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay

Chorus 1

Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
The smiles to hide our pain

Chorus 2

But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained-glass masquerade

Chorus 1

Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
The smiles to hide our pain

Chorus 2

But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained-glass masquerade

Verse 1

Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today
Feeling so small
