Lyrics
Are we really happy with this lonely game we play?Looking for the right words to say Searching but not finding Understanding anyway We’re lost in this masqueradeBoth afraid to say we’re just too far awayFrom 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 playThoughts of leaving disappear each time I see your eyesAnd no matter how hard I try To understand the reasons why we carry on this way We’re lost in this masqueradeWe tried to talk it over, but the words got in the wayWe’re lost inside this lonely game we play Thoughts of leaving disappear each time I see your eyes And no matter how hard I try To understand the reason why we carry on this way We’re lost in a masquerade We’re lost in a masquerade
