(I’m Afraid) The Masquerade is Over (Version 2) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine

[Chorus]
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, love, love

[Verse 2]
Your words don't mean what they used to mean
They were once inspired, now they're just routine

[Chorus]
I'm afraid the masquerade is over, yeah
So is love, so is love

[Bridge]
Guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
Get myself a clown's disguise
Learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears all in my eyes

[Verse 3]
You look the same, you're a lot the same
But my heart tells me "No, no, you're not the same"
[Outro]
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
So is love, so is love, so is love
