This Masquerade - The Carpenters
Verse 1:
When the night falls down
And the candles light up
And the shadows play around
I'll be standing here with you
But inside I'm feeling lost
And I'm feeling like a stranger
Trying to find a way to show you
How much I care
Chorus:
This masquerade is wearing thin
Trying to hide my feelings in
Trying to keep my heart intact
But I can't do it anymore
So I'm gonna let you see the real me
Verse 2:
When the stars come out
And the music starts playing
I'll be dancing with you now
But deep inside I'm feeling so alone
And I don't know what to do
Without you here beside me
Trying to find a way to let you
Know how I feel
Chorus:
This masquerade is wearing thin
Trying to hide my feelings in
Trying to keep my heart intact
But I can't do it anymore
So I'm gonna let you see the real me
Bridge:
So let me take off all these masks
And show you what's underneath
Let me be the one you hold tight
When the night is all consuming
I promise you this, baby
You won't regret it
Chorus:
This masquerade is wearing thin
Trying to hide my feelings in
Trying to keep my heart intact
But I can't do it anymore
So I'm gonna let you see the real me
Yeah, I'm gonna let you see the real me now.
