Masquerade

[Verse 1]
You're so pretty
I see I see i see
My dear in front of me
They know
I'm free I'm free I'm free
The mask I put on this time

[Pre-Chorus]
If I take a second longer
I might have to start again
If I wait a minute longer
We might have to pretend

[Chorus]
Maybe I'm just a character too?
Made up and pretend like you
Reveal what's under the mask
What's an act?
What's real and true?

[Refrain]
I hid myself behind the masquerade
Costumes will be
Will be the death of my age

I hid myself behind the masquerade
Costumes will be
Will be the death of my age

[Verse 2]
The sequin sparkles
I hear, I hear, I hear
That whisper inside my ear
My name
I fear, I fear, I fear
That I can't tell you this time

[Pre-Chorus]
If I take a second longer
I might have to start again
If I wait a minute longer
We might have to pretend

[Chorus]
Maybe I'm just a character too?
Made up and pretend like you
Reveal what's under the mask
What's an act?
What's real and true?

[Refrain]
I hid myself behind the masquerade
Costumes will be
Will be the death of my age

I hid myself behind the masquerade
Costumes will be
Will be the death of my age

[Bridge]
Facade
Costumes
And liquor
Where's my glass slipper?

Facade
Costumes
And liquor
Where's my glass slipper?

Facade
Costumes
And liquor
Where's my glass slipper?

Facade
Costumes
And liquor
Where's my glass slipper?

I, I'll keep on running
I'll keep on going
Behind the mask
If you
Don't chase me
I'm never coming back

[Chorus]
Maybe I'm just a character too
(a character too)
Made up and pretend like you
(pretend like you)
Reveal whats under the mask
What's an act?
(what's an act)
What's real and true?
(what's real)

[Refrain]
I hid myself behind the masquerade (masquerade hey hey hey)
Costumes will be
Will be the death of my age

I hid myself
Behind the masquerade
(Myself)
(Oh oh)
Costumes will be
Will be the death of my age
