★★★★★★★★★★

A perfect smile, a perfect lie
Beneath a cold and lonely sky
We play the game, we know the part
Two lonely strangers from the start

The lights are low, the music's loud
We're all alone inside this crowd
You touch my hand, a silent sign
That for a moment, you are mine

Our love is a masquerade
We're hiding what we're meant to be
A beautiful, sad masquerade
For all the dying world to see

We say the words we're meant to say
To get us through another day
We laugh a laugh that isn't real
And hide the things we truly feel

The lights are low, the music's loud
We're all alone inside this crowd
You touch my hand, a silent sign
That for a moment, you are mine

Our love is a masquerade
We're hiding what we're meant to be
A beautiful, sad masquerade
For all the dying world to see
