[Verse 1:] I'd like to take this time, just to apologize, The way you see me now, and what I am inside, Really your character, there wasn't in it for us, I tried to keep it up.
[Hook 1:] When I looked in your eyes, tonight, I saw your heart crystal clear, And when you look back in mine, The truth seemed to disappear.
[Chorus:] Because it was all, it was all, It was all a masquerade, Because it was all, it was all, It was all a masquerade, masquerade [x8]
[Verse 2:] I said "I loved you" first, Well "love" is just a word, Said it so many times, That it became a blur, You're not the only one, I'm sure that hearing it hurts, All of the pain you had, I'm the worst.
[Hook 2:] And in your eyes tonight, I saw your heart crystal clear, And when you looked back in mine, All the lies re-appeared.
[Chorus:] Because it was all, it was all, It was all a masquerade, Because it was all, it was all, It was all a masquerade, masquerade [x8]
[Bridge:] Now I can't believe you're telling me, That you can move on easily, I thought you really cared for me, I was wrong, I was wrong, I should've known my thorn was bitter sweet, And saw the possibilites of me playing you, while playing me, I was wrong, I was wrong,
So I guess it was all, it was all, It was all a masquerade.
I guess it was all, it was all, It was all a masquerade.
