Masquerade

[Verse 1]
Pretend you're happy, and you’ll be that way
At least that's what I've heard some people say
The world’s a stage‚ and we're all part of the play

[Pre-Chorus]
But when I played my card
I gambled with my heart
And when I lost and found that we would have to part
I fell apart like clay

[Chorus]
And I'm afraid
The masquerade
Has ended

[Verse 2]
You played the part of the Lady Fair
To let you go was more than I could bear
I wore the mask of the man who didn't care

[Pre-Chorus]
And though I acted well
Still any fool could tell
That I was so in love with you‚ and when I fell
You dropped the curtain there

[Chorus]
And I'm afraid
The masquerade
Has ended

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
And though I acted well
Still any fool could tell
That I was so in love with you‚ and when I fell
You dropped the curtain there

[Chorus]
And I'm afraid
The masquerade
Has ended
And I'm afraid
The masquerade
Has ended

[Outro]
Well, I'm afraid
