This Masquerade
Brenda Lee · Love Songs Just for You [1984]
(L.Russell)
Are we really happy with this lonely game we play?
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding understanding anyway
We're lost in the Masquerade.
Both afraid to say we're just too far away
from 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 play.
Thoughts of leaving disappear ev'ry time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try to understand the reason
That we carry on this way
You gotta be lost with us in the Masquerade.
(We're lost in the Masquerade.)

Thoughts of leaving disappear ev'ry time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try to understand the reason
That we carry on this way
You gotta be lost with us in the Masquerade.
