Diana Krall - Abandoned Masquerade

[00:18.08] The glitter on a paint and plaster face [00:23.14] Is covering desire and disgrace [00:26.49] We could be lovers but no one suspects at all [00:36.12] Once you're inside that costume ball [00:40.04] And now, I'm sitting here before the mirror [00:46.48] I have the skill, still to disguise my tears [00:57.95] Then as the magic starts to fade [01:03.23] I find myself abandoning the masquerade [01:15.63] Even though you're suffering, you try to hide it [01:28.48] And pretend you're so nonchalant [01:39.15] You can cry a pool of tears and sit beside it [01:47.55] Then perhaps you'll know what you want [02:00.97] I hope you never feel this much despair [02:09.02] Or know the meaning of that empty chair [02:20.12] As the illusions that we made, all fall away [02:29.51] In this abandoned masquerade [02:59.24] Even though you're suffering, you try to hide it [03:00.36] And pretend you're so nonchalant [03:00.92] You can cry a pool of tears and sit beside it [03:01.92] Then perhaps you'll know what you want [03:02.53] I hope you never feel this much despair [03:03.21] Or know the meaning of that empty chair [03:04.17] As the illusions that we made, all fall away [03:04.72] In this abandoned masquerade [03:05.53]
