Lyrics Leon Russell – This Masquerade

Are we really happy
With this lonely game we play?
Looking for the right words to say
Searching but not finding

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
Each time I see your eyes
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
Why we carry on this way
We’re lost in a masquerade
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
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
That we carry on this way
We’re lost in a masquerade

We could just start over but it’s oh, so hard to do
When you’re lost in a masquerade
