Your eyes 
Don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when 
Your lips meet mine

And I'm afraid the masquerade 
Is over
And so is love
And so is love

Your words 
They don't mean 
What they used to mean
They were once inspired
Now they're just routine

And I'm afraid 
The masquerade 
Is over, it's all over
And so is love
And so is love

Guess I'll have to play Pagliacci 
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci 
With tears in my eyes

You look, you look the same
You're a lot the same
But my heart tells me "No"
"No, you're not the same"

And I'm afraid the masquerade 
Is over, over
And so is love
And so is love
And so is love
And so is love, yes

It's all over
And so is love
