Masquerade - Rihanna

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

I'm painting my smile drying my tears

Cover it all cover it all

You wear a disguise hiding your fears

Put up a wall

But underneath it all that love we had is gone

We already let go go

But we put on a show so nobody knows

'Cause we ain't ready to fall

It's a masquerade

We've been trying to hide our faces behind a masquerade

Dancing around the truth

But I don't wanna lie

I'm tired of pretending

Acting like everything's OK

It hurts too much to face

It's over so we keep living in a masquerade

You're all that I know so comfortable

But the feeling is gone

And even though we need more

We're scared of being alone so the show goes on

If we took off our mask then we could never last

'Cause we'll be forced to see

It's all to make believe

'Cause we're not who we used to be

It's a masquerade

We've been trying to hide our faces behind a masquerade

Dancing around the truth

But I don't wanna lie

I'm tired of pretending

Acting like everything's OK

It hurts too much to face

It's over so we keep living in a masquerade

I'm wiping my smile off

Letting the tears come streaming down

You take your disguise off

Bringing your walls down to the ground

We be screaming inside

We can finally let it go

The truth is out now

We're face to face

Time to put it into this

It's a masquerade

We've been trying to hide our faces behind a masquerade

Dancing around the truth

But I don't wanna lie

I'm tired of pretending

Acting like everything's OK

It hurts to much to face

It's over so we keep living in a masquerade
