Masquerade
[Verse 1:]
I'd like to take this time
Just to apologize
The way you see me now
And what I am inside

Really your character
There wasn't in it for us
I tried to keep it up

[Pre-Chorus:]
When I looked in your eyes tonight
I saw your heart crystal clear
And when you look back in mine
The truth seemed to disappear

[Chorus:]
Because it was all
It was all
It was all a masquerade

Because it was all
It was all
It was all a masquerade
Masquerade [x8]
[Verse 2:]
I said "I loved you" first
Well "love" is just a word
Said it so many times
That it became a blur

You're not the only one
I'm sure that hearing it hurts
All of the pain you had
I'm the worst

[Pre-Chorus:]
And in your eyes tonight
I saw your heart crystal clear
And when you looked back in mine
All the lies re-appeared

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
Now I can't believe you're telling me
That you can move on easily
I thought you really cared for me
I was wrong, I was wrong

I should've known my thorn was bittersweet
And saw the possibilities
Of me playing you while playing me
I was wrong
I was wrong
So I guess it was all
It was all
It was all a masquerade

I guess it was all
It was all
It was all a masquerade

Masquerade [x8]

A masquerade
