Masquerade

He used to tell me I was everything Compare our love to the stars We used to gaze at constellations Now another girl is in his arms He used to tell me I was lovely More than the sunrise every day If you're like me you'll think he loves you But don't be fooled by the masquerade You never know what he really wants to say Is "I love you for the next two years of my life" You're the death and the best part of me "Yeah, I love you for the next two years of my life" "You're more than enough for me" Till something better comes around A new interest is found Then "I don't think I ever felt the same" He's the master of pretending And king of the masquerade We're not the first victims in his trap But he just can't do this anymore His tricks are laid out in a pattern It's always two years till he gets bored (two years) Brainwashing magic takes the innocent Manipulation you can't tame Almost predictable, but still unpredictable He's skilled at the masquerade I'm here to warn the future players of his game And "I love you for the next two years of my life" You're the death and the best part of me "Yeah, I love you for the next two years of my life" "You're more than enough for me" Till something better comes around A new interest is found Then "I don't think I ever felt the same" He's the master of pretending And king of the masquerade And I wasted the past two years of my life He was the death and the best part of me Yeah, I wasted the past two years of my life He was never good enough for me Till something better comes around I'll be here safe and sound And I'm glad that we never felt the same Goodbye, master of pretending And king of the masquerade King of the masquerade Throwing the shade on your masquerade
