Are we really happy with this lonely game we play?

Question

Are we really happy with this lonely game we play,

looking for the right words to say?

Searching but not finding -- understanding anyway,

We're lost in this masquerade.

Both afraid to say we're just too far away

From being close together from the start.

We try to talk it over, but the words got in the way

We're lost inside this lonely game we play.

This Masquerade - George Benson

Are we really happy here

With this lonely game we play

Looking for words to say?

Searching

But not finding understanding anyway

We're lost in a mas--masquerade

Both afraid to say

We're just too far away

From being close together from the start

We tried to talk it over

But the words got in the way

We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear

Ev'ry time I see your eyes

No matter how hard I try

To understand the reasons

That we carry on this way

We're lost in this masquerade

Both afraid to say

We're just too far away

From being close together from the start

We tried to talk it over

But the words got in the way

We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear

Ev'ry time I see your eyes

No matter how hard I try

To understand the reasons

That we carry on this way

We're lost in this masquerade

Answer 4

It's not a lonely game I play.

I just try to think of things to say.

No one listens anyway,

Sometimes I think its just not my day,

And that I should go away.

But what the hey,

I have a good life anyway.

I enjoy myself every day!

Thanks for your little game to play. 8^)

Answer 7

The two following songs came to mind, as soon as I read your (excellent) poem:

CHERADE Kramus Lyrics

(Verse)

Another night of showing my charm again and I wait for you

To drop your guard and let me in so I can stop making myself your fool

(And I hope your)

(Chorus)

Very entertained by this charade

And I'm not happy without

My costume for this masquerade

And I'm not happy without

(Verse)

Just pick me up so you can drop me down again

Along with all the smooth things that I should have said to you

(And I hope your)

(Chorus)

Very entertained by this charade

And I'm not happy without

My costume for this masquerade

And I'm not happy without

(Bridge)

Just tell me why you can not get it

I'm peeling off my skin, I'm naked

Do you feel it inside you, Still I can't find you

Just decide

Drop it down or pick it up

(And I hope your)

(Chorus)

Very entertained by this charade

And I'm not happy without

My costume for this masquerade

And I'm not happy without

***and, CHARADE by Henri Mancini

When we played our charade

We were like children posing

Playing at games, acting out names

Guessing the parts we played

Oh what a hit we made

We came on next to closing

Best on the bill, lovers until

Love left the masquerade

Fate seemed to pull the strings

I turned and you were gone

While from the darkened wings

The music box played on

Sad little serenade

Song of my heart's composing

I hear it still, I always will

Best on the bill

Charade

Answer 8

'It's just a game'

But the excuse is lame

All we can rightfully claim

In the end it's all the same.
