I'm Afraid the Masquerade Is Over
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
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
