Random musings and song lyrics

These may not be that accurate since I wasn't able to find the exact lyrics online and had to listen to the song to deduce them, but apparently the song was originally composed by George Benson.

Maybe it's just me right now and the state I'm in, but this song has always struck a chord with me since the first time I heard it almost 2 years ago.

I didn't really have time to give myself a treat today (mostly because I was standing outside a lab with an orange rose in my hand waiting to give it to someone on behalf of someone else), but that's what tomorrow is for when it's less crowded.


Are we really happy here
With this lonely game we're playing?
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding understanding any 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 land don't will that way
We're lost inside
This lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappeared
Every time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand that reason
That we carry on this way
We're lost
In this masquerade

Every time, every time, every time I see your eyes
No matter, no matter how hard I tried
To understand that reason
That we carry on this way
We're lost
In this
Masquerade

Masquerade ~repeat and fade out~

I think the only version of that song I've heard is the Carpenters version, which I rather like. Karen Carpenter's voice is so rich and clear. I wish I could sing like that. T_T
