(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

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love

And so is love

Your words 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 to laugh like pagliacci

With tears in my eyes

You look the same

You're a lot the same

But my heart says

"No no you're not the same"

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love

And so is love

It's all over

And so is love
