This Masquerade

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 to 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

To understand the reasons

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
