Song lyrics
Is there anyone that fails 
Is there anyone that falls 
Am I the only one in church today feelin' 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 

CHORUS 
Are we happy plastic people 
Under shiny plastic steeples 
With walls around our weakness 
And smiles to hide our pain 
But if the invitation's open 
To every heart that has been broken 
Maybe then we close the curtain on our 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 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 

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 
Would the love of Jesus 
Be enough to make you stay 

CHORUS 2x 

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

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

i've always felt a little alone at church because my brother is so popular there. i've always felt left out...like nobody really sees me as me, just as "Matt's sister." this song really means a lot to me...

i luv this song so much, jeez, casting crowns always hits the sore spots with me like they know what i feel like alot of the time. they are amzing in what they do. my 2 favorite lines of this song is

"The performance is convincing and we know every line by heart, only when no one is watching can we really fall apart."
and
"Cause wheni take a look around everybody seems so strong i know they'll soon discover that i don't belong."

it's kinda like you can be surrounded by your friends and they think they know what you're thinking how you feel, but when you think about it nobody really knows how you feel and the hurt others and your self have caused you. sad. they put the perfect words there, that was a perfect description of how alot of people oncluding me feel.
