THIS MASQUERADE
The Carpenters


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

Repeat (*)
We?re lost in a masquerade
