Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine

cnd the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

cnd so is love, and so is love

Your kiss don't mean what it used, what it used to mean

It once was inspired, now it's just Routine

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

cnd so is love, and so is love

I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise

cnd then I'll learn to laugh, laugh like Pagliacci, oh, with tears in my eyes

Your words don't mean what they used to mean

It was once inspired, now it's just routine

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

cnd so is love, and so is love
