Are we really happy with this lonely game we play,
Looking for the words to say?
Searching but not finding - understanding anyway,
We're lost in this masquerade.
Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start.
We try 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,
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reason that we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade.
We could talk it over, but it's all so hard to do
When you're lost in a masquerade.
We're lost in a masquerade.
