Masquerade - Shelley Harland

Lately I’ve been going through the motions

I’ve been shining but it’s just a masquerade

Beneath the fight I bear a thousand sorrows

And it crucifies my innocence

I face the world with faded eyes

If only you’ll come back to me

Come back to me

Come back to me

(holding my breath, holding my breath)

Left me wondering where lies the meaning

and I’m holding on to no reasons why

Live in this world

sheltering us from honesty

So we believe in lies

So we believe in lies

I face the world with faded eyes

If only you’ll come back to me

Come back to me

Come back to me

(holding my breath, holding my breath,

holding my breath, holding my breath)

I’m not ready, I’m not ready,

ready, ready for you to go

I’m not ready, I’m not ready,

I’m not ready for you to go

I’m holding my heart on a string of broken yarn

Pull me in

I’m holding my breath for the air that brings me love,

brings love

I’m holding my heart on a string of broken yarn

Pull me in

I’m holding my breath for the air that brings me love,

brings love

I’m holding my heart on a string of broken yarn

Pull me in

I’m holding my breath…
