             This  Masquerade / Carpenters

 

 

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 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 his lonely game we play
Thoughts of leaving disappear
each time I see your eyes

 

And no matter how hard I try
to understand the reasons
why we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade
