This Masquerade - Johnnie Taylor

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 this lonely game we play

Throughts of leaving disappear

Each time I see your eyes

And no matter how hard I try

To understand the reason

Why we carry on this way

And we’re lost in this masquerade

We tried to talk it over

But the words got in the way

We’re lost inside this lonely game we play

Throughts of leaving disappear

Each time I see your eyes

And no matter how hard I try

To understand the reason

Why we carry on this way

And we’re lost in this masquerade

& We’re lost in a masquerade
