 Are we really happy with this lonely game we play,

 Looking for words to say?
+7
 Searching but not finding understanding any way,
 We're lost  in this masquerade
Both  afraid to say  we're just too far  away,
 From being  close together  from the start
 We tried  to talk it over,  but the words  got in the way,
  -5
 We're lost inside this lonely game we play.
 (Instrumental)
 Repeat bridge:

 Thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes,
  -5
 No matter how hard I try
+7
 To understand the reason that we carry on this way,
 We're lost  in this masquerade.

 Another great hit from Kraziekhat!
