The Masquerade Ball

You waltzed me around the floor

Spinning my head too fast

My heart covered my eyes

So I didn’t see your mask

I thought it was come as you are

And delivered my true self

But it was a masquerade ball

And you came as someone else

You wore a suit of armor

Pretending to be strong

I thought you would protect me

Instead you let me fall

I saw you in that white hat

That magnified your eyes

I thought that stood for honor

But it only hid your lies

I thought it was come as you are

And delivered my true self

But it was a masquerade ball

And you came as someone else
