Afraid

Your eyes don't shine

Not like they used to shine

And the thrill is gone

When your lips meet mine

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love, and so is love

Your words, they don't mean

What they used to mean

They were once inspired

Now they're just routine

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love, and so is love

I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci

And get myself a clown's disguise

And learn, learn to laugh like Pagliacci

With the tears all in my eyes

You look the same

You're a lot, a lot the same

But my heart says, "Oh, no, no, no, no"

"No, you're not, no, you're not the same"

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love, and so is love

I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci

And get myself a clown's disguise

And learn, learn to laugh like Pagliacci

With the tears all in my eyes

You look, you look the same

You're a lot, you're a lot the same

But my heart says, "Oh, no, no, no, no"

"No, you're not, no, you're not the same"

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love, and so is love
