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