This Masquerade
Leon Russell
Are we really happy
With this lonely game we play?
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding
Understanding anywhere
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
Thoughts of leaving disappear
Every time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reason
That we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade
We could just start over
But it's oh so hard to do
When you're lost in a masquerade
