masquerade

i heard this song a few days ago when i saw "The Pursuit of Happyness" which mind you depressed the hell out of me.. the happyness was for like 10 seconds at the end of the movie.. the rest.. was all struggle and i found no hope in it. but then again. i was lonely and watching it at 3am...

but the song is haunting me the last few days.. i can't explain it except that i relate to it...



George Benson- This Masquerade

Are we really happy here
With this lonely game we play
Looking for words to say?
Searching
But not finding understanding anyway
We're lost in a mas--masquerade

Both afraid to say
We're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Ev'ry time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
That we carry on this way
We're lost in this masquerade

Both afraid to say
We're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Ev'ry time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
That we carry on this way
We're lost in this masquerade
