Masquerade Lyrics by Particles

Heavy Heart

2022

[Verse 1]
Nobody's drinking, nobody's smoking
Pretty boring for a New Year's Eve dinner
Smiling faces waiting for the countdown
My mind is completely elsewhere

[Pre-Chorus]
Holding tight the phone
You said you would have called
The clock strikes midnight
Not in the mood to toast
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six
You couldn't care less than this

[Chorus]
It's a new era
You should feel better
Welcome to the '20's my dear
It's a new era
I keep looking around but you're not here
When it's supposed to be my year

[Verse 2]
I came at your place and nobody's sober
Glitters and paillettes over their bodies
You said, "Oh baby, it's just a masquerade"
So how come your tongue is all over her face?

[Pre-Chorus]
Holding tight my cup
You said you would have come
The clock strikes midnight
Not in the mood to toast
Five, four, three, two, one
We couldn't be more done

[Chorus]
It's a new era
You should feel better
Welcome to the '20's my dear
It's a new era
I keep looking around but you're not here
When it's supposed to be my year

[Post-Chorus]
I'd give you 20 chances to be happy
But you keep losing yourself in endless dances
I keep looking around but you're not here
When it's supposed to be my year

[Bridge]
I keep looking around but you're not here
When it's supposed to be my year
It's just a masquerade
It's just a masquerade
It's just a masquerade
It's just a masquerade!

[Verse 3]
Clock strikes midnight, not even in the mood to talk
Pretty boring for a New Year's Eve dinner
Clock strikes midnight and suddenly you're just a ghost
Now tell me, what I could have done to make you care at all?

[Chorus]
It's a new era
You should feel better
Welcome to the '20's my dear
It's a new era
I keep looking around but you're not here
When it's supposed to be my year

[Post-Chorus]
I'd give you 20 chances to be happy
But you keep losing yourself in endless dances
I keep looking around but you're not here
When it's supposed to be my year

[Outro]
Smashing down the phone
Yeah, you said you would've called, and now
The clock strikes midnight, suddenly you're just a ghost
It's not my year at all
