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
Bridge
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 the same"
I m afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
