M A S Q U E R A D E  G A M E

I know you want to leave I see it clearly in your eyes
You tie your hands behind your back to hide what's inside
It's fear of loosing love that keeps you in the sidelines
But all the while you lead me on to save your white lies

You wear that lipstick on your sleeve it's getting clear to me
There's someone else involved who's adding to this mystery
Is she the girl who steals your time and calls you late at night
The evidence is clear babe here's a crime you can't deny

(Chorus)
I'm letting you go this time I'm taking back my name
I'm not your playground boy and it's driving me insane
When it comes to playing hearts you'll know who's to blame
I won't take no more of this Masquerade Game

There was a time that I believed you were the one for me
I took you name in hopes our love would finally set me free
I've wasted so much time investing in this hopeless love
I think it's time I realize you're not the chosen one

Your mystery girl has been revealed for all the world to see
Now we all know about your secret infidelity
You threw our love away and left it lying on the floor
I've packed my bags you best believe I'm walking out that door

(Repeat Chorus)
I'm letting you go this time I'm taking back my name
I'm not your playground boy and it's driving me insane
When it comes to playing hearts you'll know who's to blame
I won't take no more of this Masquerade Game
