This Masquerade

Are we really happy here

With this lonely game we play?

Looking for words to say

Searching but not finding

Understanding anyway

We're lost in a masquerade

We're both afraid to say

We're just too far away

Ooh, from being close together from the start, oh

We tried to talk it over

But the words got in the way

We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving, ooh, they disappear

Every time I see your face

And it doesn't matter how hard I try, I try

To understand the reasons

Why is it that we have to carry on this way?

We're lost in a masquerade

We're lost in a masquerade

We're both afraid to say

We're just too far away

From being close together from the start

We tried to talk it over

But the words got in the way

We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Oh, thoughts of leaving disappear

Every time I see your face

And it don't matter how hard I try, I try

To understand the reasons

Why is it that we carry on this way?

We're lost in a masquerade

Understanding is gone

Trust is forlorn

Oh
