(I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over

Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine

And the thrill is gone, when your lips meet mine

And I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love, and so is love

Your words that don't mean what they used to mean

They were once inspired

Now they're just routine

And I'm afraid, the masquerade is over, it's all over

And so is love, and so is love

Guess I'll have to play Pagliacci

And get myself a clown's disguise

And learn to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyes

You look, you look the same

You're a lot the same

But my heart tells me "No

No you are not the same"

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

And so is love, and so is love, and so is love, and so is love yes

It's all over

And so is love
