This Masquerade

Are we really happy here

with this lonely game we play?

Looking for words to say

searching but not finding

Understanding anywhere

we're lost in a masquerade

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

Thoughts of leaving disappear

every time I see your eyes

No matter how hard I try

to understand the reasons

why we carry on this way

We're lost in a masquerade
