This Masquerade

George Benson

Are we really happy here with this lonely game we play?

Looking for words to say...

Searching but not finding understanding anyway

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 weeping disappear every time I see your eyes

No matter how hard I try... ooh...

To understand the reasons that we carry on this way

We're lost in a mask masquerade...

We're both afraid to say we're just too far away... mmm...

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 weeping disappear every time I see your face

No matter how hard... I I... try... mmm...

To understand the reasons why we carry on this way

We're lost in a masquerade

Whoa in a masquerade mmm... mmm...
