I'd like to take this time just to apologize
The way you see me now ain't who I am inside
Really a character that wasn't in it for us
I tried to keep it up but when I looked intro your eyes tonight
I saw you heart crystal clear
And when you look back at mine
The truth seems to disappear

Chorus:
Because it was all, it was all, it was all a masquerade
Because it was all, it was all, it was all a masquerade,
Masquerade, masquerade, masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade, masquerade, masquerade

I said I loved you first but love is just a word
Said it so many times that it became a blur
Your not the only one I'm sure that hearing it hurts
Of all the pain you had I'm the worst in your eyes tonight
I saw you heart crystal clear
And when you look back at mine
All the lies reappear

Chorus:
Because it was all, it was all, it was all a masquerade
Because it was all, it was all, it was all a masquerade,
Just a masquerade, masquerade, masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade, masquerade, masquerade

Now I can't believe you're telling me that you can move on easily
I thought you really cared for me I was wrong
I should have known my fun was bitter sweet
And saw the possibilities of me playing you while you're playing me
I was wrong, I was wrong

So I guess it was all, it was all, it was all a masquerade
I guess it was all, it was all, it was all a masquerade,
Masquerade (x9)
