The Masquerade Is Over
My blue horizon is turning grayAnd my dreams are drifting awayYour eyes don't shine like they used to shineAnd the thrill is gone when your lips meet mineI'm afraid the masquerade is overAnd so is love, and so is loveYour love and so is loveI guess I'll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguiseAnd learn to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyesYou look the sameYou're a lot the sameBut my heart says "no, no, you're not the same"I'm afraid the masquerade is overAnd so is love, and so is loveYour words don't mean what they used to meThey were once inspired, now they're just routineI'm afraid the masquerade is over Aus Songtexte Mania
