Both afraid to say we’re just too far away

From being close together from the start
D#m7 G# C#
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way

Were lost inside this lonely game we play
Hearts of weeping disappear every time I see your smile
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons that we carry on this way
We’re lost in a masquerade.
