THIS MASQUERADE

George Benson



Are we really happy here

With this lonely game we play

Looking for words to say

Searching but not finding

understanding anywhere

We're lost in a 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 leaving disappear

Every time I see your eyes

No matter how hard I try

To understand the reasons

Why we carry on this way

We're lost in a masquerade
