are we really happy here 
with this lonely game we play 
looking for words to say 
searching but not finding 
understanding any way 
we're lost in a mask 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 
every time i see your eyes 
no matter how hard i try oooh 
to understand the reasons 
that we carry on this way 
we're lost in a masquerade
