- This Masquerade LyricsAre we really happy
With this lonely game we play?
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding
Understanding anywhere
We're lost in this masquerade
Both afraid to say
We're just to 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
Thoughts of weeping
Disappear every time
I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
That we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade
We could just start over
But it's oh so, hard to do
When you're lost in a masquerade
With this lonely game we play?
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding
Understanding anywhere
We're lost in this masquerade
Both afraid to say
We're just to 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
Thoughts of weeping
Disappear every time
I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
That we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade
We could just start over
But it's oh so, hard to do
When you're lost in a masquerade
