Dear And Departed, The - Masquerade lyrics

rate me

Midnight, another vacant stare

And if by sunrise, you still think I was there

Then you're mistaken

I'd rather bring myself to tears

You're in the spotlight, you're masquerading well

Everything's alright, as far as you can tell

But come tomorrow, maybe delusions all to blame

A likely story once again

You remind me of a girl (remind me, remind me)

You remind me of a girl I used to know

So paint your face and hide behind

The image of what you have (tried to find)

You're singing of love and you sing of pain

But somehow all these words aren't the same

Scandal, another claim to fame

It's hard to handle, it's such a crying shame

Your eyes are blinded

You can't see the forest for the trees

It's time to get up off your knees

You remind me of a girl (remind me, remind me)

You remind me of a girl I used to know

So paint your face and hide behind

The image of what you have (tried to find)

You're singing of love and you sing of pain

But somehow all these words aren't the same
