Masquerade the heart Is the height of haunting souls Just not what you seek of me Can the heart reveal the proof Like a mirror reveals the truth See the evil one is you Is that scary for you baby

Baby loves me but
He acts like he don’t care
Baby loves me but he acts
Like I’m not there
You came and changed my world
But you told them
We`re just good friends
It seems so hard to be
Even though each moment
Spent with you is incredible
To me you are the sun
In the summer sky
But baby
You sit behind the mask
When I was the one who
Came when you fell down
Member I was the only one around
Just goes to show you
Never trust first impressions
