Masquerade

(album: Modern Love - 2016)

There's a stranger in my bed
Lighting up a cigarette
Looking at me like he's lost

There's a letter by his side
Burning with the reasons why
Our mask has finally dropped

Cos now he looks at me
And it's like I don't even know him
And when he touches me
I've forgotten how to hold him

How can you call it love if
You never show your face
Did we fall in love in the middle of
The middle of a masquerade
The middle of a masquerade

Now there's a foreign taste on his tongue
I'm trying to translate what we've become
But I can make sense of him when we're together

And maybe I got caught up in dreams
And it wasn't quite what it seems
But you can't hide behind the truth forever

Cos now he talks to me
And it's like I don't ever know him
And when he touches me
I've forgotten how to hold him

How can you call it love if
You never show your face
Did we fall in love in the middle of
The middle of a masquerade

Now the world I feel for
Is gone without a trace
Did we fall in love in the middle of
The middle of a masquerade
The middle of a masquerade

Tell me do we fall in love
By the bedside (I don't even know who you are)
On the train ride (I don't ever know who you are)
With his shoes tied (I don't ever know who you are)
And your brown eyes (I don't even know who you are)
When you touch me (I don't even know who you are)
In your blue jeans (I don't even know who you are)
Say you love me (I don't even know who you are)
But you don't know me (I don't even know who you are)
Say you love me (I don't even know who you are)
You say you love me
In the middle of a masquerade
