This Masquerade

Are we really happy
When it's this lonely game we play
Searching for words to say
Searching but not finding
Understanding anyway
We're lost in a masquerade

Both afraid to say
That we're just too far apart
From ever being closer
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

Hard to keep from weeping
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

In a masquerade
Well, well
So soft, so sad
We can make it
We can make it
We're lost in a masquerade
