Pretending a day is forever Then watching you hurry away It’s a game we play together We are strangers in the light of day. I’ve learned to lie with my eyes To act like we never were lovers When I am nobody you ever claim We won’t walk in sunshine together.
The love of my life is a stranger And this is the price I have paid I smile when my heart is a wasteland And, my life is a dance masquerade. I’m dancing with a shadow It looks so very real. It moves with the rhythm It does everything but feel.
I can only get so much reward From rewriting each scene From what it really was today To what it might have been. I am settling for a fantasy Of what love is really about. Picking up the scraps of dreams That anyone else would throw out.
The love of my life is a stranger And this is the price I have paid I smile when my heart is a wasteland And, my life is a dance masquerade. I’m dancing with a shadow It looks so very real. It moves with the rhythm It does everything but feel.
