I know I've been here before
These deja vu's I can explain
Guarded hearts take the floor
Yet hand after hand I'm the one I should blame
Every day I struggle through this
'Cause every night I fail to change
You'd think I'd learn my lesson
Ooo but that record stays the same
Welcome to
The lover's masquerade
You can choose
The deception that gets your way
But it's all just a game
In a lover's masquerade
Scars are shamed so we disguise
"Perfect people" on parade
Blinded by promises of a better life
Welcome to
This lover's masquerade
Go on & choose
Your deception & get your way
If you wanna play the game
In this room of lies
The truth can hide behind any face
It's the dance of the insane
Welcome to
The lover's masquerade
Should I remove
The mask that hides what I can't change
Welcome to
This lover's masquerade
If it's all a ruse
Still I'm the only one I can blame
Welcome to
The lover's masquerade
Where we all choose
Our deceptions and lose our faith
Welcome to
This lover's masquerade
Nothin' to prove
'Cause the truth is
We're all the same
