The Masquerade

Intro

No

No

Not at all

Chorus

You never really cared

Not a single time

You never really cared

I was never on your mind

While I waited by the gate

You let our letters fade

You never really cared

It was all a masquerade

Verse 1

My ribbons tied for nothing

Silk against the cold

Staring at the silent dial

Wondering when you might call

Empty promises on paper

Paper that you tore

Pre-Chorus

I wore the dress you liked

I walked the miles

I hid my tears

Chorus

You never really cared

Not a single time

You never really cared

I was never on your mind

While I waited by the gate

You let our letters fade

You never really cared

It was all a masquerade

Bridge

Maybe you saw a ghost

Maybe you saw a dream

Maybe you saw someone else

Verse 2

Sweet candy turned to vinegar

Sharp against my tongue

Birds don't sing in my backyard

Winter came too young

Borrowed time is expensive

I spent every cent

Pre-Chorus

I wore the dress you liked

I walked the miles

I hid my tears

Chorus

You never really cared

Not a single time

You never really cared

I was never on your mind

While I waited by the gate

You let our letters fade

You never really cared

It was all a masquerade
