The Last Masquerade

You've got a mask on your face
And a smile in your eyes
Your weariness hidden beneath your sparkling disguise

It's nobody's fault but I don't feel myself here tonight
Feigning indifference and telling you things are alright

I tell you we've seen worse before and we've still made it past
The truth is I'm watching this sunset and know it's my last

When you danced, did you count off the bars
Or just move with the time?
I wish I'd done more of the latter
But you can't change your mind

And darling, there's nowhere to go
From right here and right now
There's no place to hide and I've had a good run anyhow
Close your eyes while the world as we know it dissolves in a haze
I've never regretted a moment
The Last Masquerade

I'm missing a day, we were wrapped up in ignorant bliss
When the blanket of time kept us warm
On the cold days like this

You walk through life looking at things
In a different way
When all of the time in the world can't be measured in days

But don't let me ruin your mood, let's not dwell on the past
Let's enjoy the good times like we did
When we thought they would last

Smile as a tear leaves your eye and runs under your mask
We're not going down slow anymore
And you've gotta think fast
When we're gone you be sure that there's nothing
You've got left to say
Try to enjoy the music
The Last Masquerade
