Whenever you're near I hide my tears
Behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow
Behind a painted smile

My life's a masquerade (Masquerade)
A world of "Let's pretend, dear"
Since you took your love (Took your love)
Pretending never ends, dear

But I can't let you know
That I still need you so, no

(Darling I hide the tears that I cry)

Whenever you're near I hide my tears
Behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow
Behind a painted smile

Oooh, I can't let you see (Can't let you see)
All the tears I'm crying
You would pity me (Would pity me)
That would be like dying

If I can't have your love
I don't need your sympathy

(Darling I hide the tears that I cry)

Whenever you're near I hide my tears
Behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow
Behind a painted smile

My life is a masquerade
Since you took your love away

My life is a masquerade
I just can't let you see
How much you're hurting me

Whenever you're near I hide my tears
Behind a painted smile
