Masquerade lyrics

(Verse 1)
From the moment I dreamt you
Saw your face in every picture around
Saw your face in every faceless crowd
From the moment I loved you
Long before I'd even met you at all
I knew this day was going to come
I don't want to lose you now
By telling the truth

(Chorus)
I could lie just a little
Talk to you in riddles
Play the whole charade
I could stay in the middle
Play you like a fiddle
I could masquerade

(Post Chorus)
But I won't hide from you darling
I've got to make it clear
I'm not all that you're thinking
I'm not how I appear

(Verse 2)
It's a risk I'm taking
I'm trying to be myself so you see
While I'm trying to be a better me
There's no hesitating
I'll do what I should do
(Chorus)
So I could lie just a little
Talk to you in riddles
Play the whole charade
I could stay in the middle
Play you like a fiddle
I could masquerade

(Post Chorus)
But I won't hide from you darling
I've got to make it clear
I'm not all that you're thinking
I'm not how I appear

(Verse 3)
I won't blind your eyes
I won't see you surprised
I won't lie to you baby
You've got to realize

(Bridge)
I can masquerade
I can masquerade
Wear a masquerade
I could lie just a little
I could talk just a little
If I wanted to
I could lie
Yeah
Yeah
I could lie just a little
Talk to you in riddles
Play the whole charade
(Chrous 2)
I could stay in the middle
Play you like a fiddle
I could masquerade
I could masquerade
I could masquerade

(Outro)
And now that I've won you
Gonna give you everything that you need
