(I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over

Lyrics

Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
 And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
 I'm afraid the masquerade is over
 And so is love, and so is love
 Your words don't mean what they used to mean
 They were once inspired, now they're just routine
 I'm afraid the masquerade is over
 And so is love, and so is love
 I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
 And get myself a clown's disguise
 And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
 With tears in my eyes
 You look the same, you're a lot the same
 But my heart says, 'No, no, you're not, you're not the same'
 I'm afraid the masquerade is over
 And so is love, and so is love
 I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
 And get myself a clown's disguise
 And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
 With tears in my eyes
 You look, you look the same, you're a lot the same
 But my heart says, 'No, no, you're not the same'
 I'm afraid the masquerade is over
 And so is love, and so is love
 And so is love, and so is love
