Then perhaps you'll know what you want
And now, I'm sitting here before the mirror
Even though you're suffering, you try to hide it
I find myself abandoning the masquerade
You can cry a pool of tears and sit beside it
Then perhaps you'll know what you want
I hope you never feel this much despair
We could be lovers but no one suspects at all
Even though you're suffering, you try to hide it
You can cry a pool of tears and sit beside it
Or know the meaning of that empty chair
Then as the magic starts to fade
I hope you never feel this much despair
And pretend you're so nonchalant
I have the skill, still to disguise my tears
In this abandoned masquerade
As the illusions that we made, all fall away
Or know the meaning of that empty chair
And pretend you're so nonchalant
Once you're inside that costume ball
As the illusions that we made, all fall away
