(I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love, and so is love

You look, you look the same, you're a lot the same
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
You look the same, you're a lot the same
I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And get myself a clown's disguise
With tears in my eyes
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
But my heart says, 'No, no, you're not the same'
With tears in my eyes

And get myself a clown's disguise
But my heart says, 'No, no, you're not, you're not the same'
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci

I'm afraid the masquerade is over
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
And so is love, and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to mean
And so is love, and so is love
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
