[Intro]

In your

Masquerade

[Verse 1]

You walked in like you knew the room

Said my name like a loaded truth

Every smile felt well-rehearsed

Every promise came with terms

You said “baby, this is real”

But real don’t spin on a ferris wheel

[Pre-Chorus]

Every time I see your face

I can feel the empty space

[Chorus]

I was stuck in your masquerade (masquerade)

Same damn lie in a different shade (different shade)

You pull me in, thеn fade away

I say too much, you say “fuck, okay”

I was bleeding, you played it safe (playеd it safe)

I gave you truth, you gave me fake (gave me fake)

I loved you straight, you curved the frame

I was stuck in your masquerade

[Post-Chorus]

Take it off, take it off

If it’s love, don’t make it vague

Take it off, take it off

If it’s real, don’t make me wait

In your

Masquerade

[Verse 2]

You say “that’s just how I am”

Funny how that’s never a man

Every answer half-explained

Every silence passed as pain

I wore honesty like skin

You wore armor just to win

[Pre-Chorus]

Every time I pull you near

You just always disappear

[Chorus]

I was stuck in your masquerade (masquerade)

Same damn lie in a different shade (different shade)

You pull me in, then fade away

I say too much, you say “fuck, okay”

I was bleeding, you played it safe (played it safe)

I gave you truth, you gave me fake (gave me fake)

I loved you straight, you curved the frame

I was stuck in your masquerade

[Post-Chorus]

Take it off, take it off

If it’s love, don’t make it vague

Take it off, take it off

If it’s real, don’t make me wait

In your

Masquerade

[Bridge]

I would’ve loved you in the dark

Loved the mess, the missing parts

But you never let me see

Anything that scared you deep

You don’t want love, you want control

A mirror with no cracks to show

I fell for who you couldn’t be

And that almost ruined me

[Breakdown]

Say it straight

Drop the act

No more fear

No looking back

Lights go low

Truth too late

One last kiss

No masquerade

[Chorus]

I was stuck in your masquerade (masquerade)

Now I see every game you played (game you played)

You don’t get me the way you say

I loved you loud, you ran away

I was honest, you delayed (you delayed)

I burned the script, I changed the play (changed the play)

I won’t beg you to be brave

I survived in your masquerade

[Post-Chorus]

Take it off, take it off

Say it straight, no smoke or glass

Take it off, take it off

Show your face, then make it last

[Outro]

Oh, in your

Masquerade

Masquerade

Masquerade
