This Masquerade

(album: These Old Charms - 2005)

Are we really happy with this lonely game we play
Looking for the right words to say
Searching but not finding understanding anyway
Yeah we're lost in this masquerade

Both afraid to say we're just too far away
Being close together from the start
Yeah we tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
Yeah we're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Every time I see your eyes
No matter, no matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
Why we carry on this way
Yeah we're lost in this masquerade

Are we really happy with this lonely game we play
Looking for the right words to say
Searching but not finding understanding anyway
Yeah we're lost in this masquerade

Both afraid to say we're just too far away
Being close together from the start
Yeah we tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
Yeah we're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Every time I see your eyes
No matter, no matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
Why we carry on this way
Yeah we're lost in this masquerade
