Are we really happy here
Playing these coy games we play?
Why both of us so afraid of coming out
And confessing the passion to each other?
Every time we met we tried our best
But the words got stuck in our throats;
We have been wearing masks, hiding emotions;
And we have become stuck inside the masquerade.
Thoughts of dying vanish into thin air;
Every time I see your eyes on Insta.
We both have so many happy selfies there;
But are we really happy with our lonely selves?
Every time we met we tried our best
But the words got stuck in our throats;
We have been wearing masks, hiding emotions;
And we have become trapped inside the masquerade.
I have tried to understand the real REASON why
We carry on playing these stupid games we play;
But then every time I tried to be closer to you,
You moved two steps back, staying within the masquerade.
Every time we met we tried our best
But the words got stuck in our throats;
We have been wearing masks, hiding emotions;
And now we won’t be able to escape this masquerade.
Been searching high and low, left and right
But not finding any understanding anywhere;
One day I might put my head on your shoulders,
And sleep, to never wake up again.
