Masquerade

The shores have been receding
Your safety net was thrown too far
I shimmy and I stumble
Drunk conversations at a bar
I hurry back to the comfort
Then I hurry back to the rain
I always knew it was just wasted breath, again

The battle we fought
The pleasure and the pain
I've grown so tired
Of circling the drain
We lost the plot
The feelings changed
Love became a game
A masquerade

The stars will not align this time
You can't take a picture of the past
Holding on with all of your strength
To something that will never last
And then I hurry back to the comfort
Yeah I hurry back to the rain

The battle we fought
The pleasure and the pain
I've grown so tired
Of circling the drain
We lost the plot
The feelings changed
Love became a game
A masquerade
The battle we fought
The pleasure and the pain
I've grown so tired
Of circling the drain
We lost the plot
The feelings changed
Love became a game
A masquerade

Everything I ever thought was wrong
About you
Only time will truly let you know
The truth
Everything I ever did was all
For you
Crazy how the time really flew
(Shhh)

The battle we fought
The pleasure and the pain
I've grown so tired
Of circling the drain
We lost the plot
The feelings changed
Love became a game
A game, a game
The battle we fought
The pleasure and the pain
I've grown so tired
Of circling the drain
We lost the plot
The feelings changed
Love became a game
A masquerade

You did it, you did it, you did it
You did it to yourself (a masquerade)
Admit it, admit it, admit it
You love how it felt (a masquerade)
You did it, you did it, you did it
You did it to yourself (a masquerade)
Admit it, admit it, admit it
You love how it felt (a masquerade)
