[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 Was not 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,

That I'm sure it hurts hearing,

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 not 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.

Masquerade [x8]

A masquerade
