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