Next!
There is no 'if' on my lips,
When I say I love.
No 'maybe' awaits me giving it.
I know what it is inside me that lives.
But I will tell you this...
No masquerade portrayed,
Upon my heart...
Comes to be made.
That is not allowed.
I wont let that start!
When I say I love...
I do!
And you,
Can forget about using me to play...
Charades or any other game,
You choose to display.
When I say I love...
I do!
And you are not that good...
To continue in a disguise I recognize,
Given by shallow givers I knew
Who tried to hide a past,
Smoothed over by obvious lies.
Why does anyone think that will last?
When false eyes I detect...
Appear so quickly,
After one's need has been fed
With the act of sweated sex!
In a wet bed of regrets.
'Next! '
Put your pretentions to rest!
You are not that good.

I've Already Said What I Have Had to Say
I've already said what I have had to say.
But what has been stated...
You want it said another way.
Unfortunately there is nothing else.
Nothing I'd like to convey.
I am not the one in masquerade.
Nor am I the fool you believed,
I portrayed.
You choose to hide behind pretentions.
And today I seek reality.
Something you hide and afraid to display.
There's no need to argue.
Or vent a temperment!
I've already said what I have had to say.
And after years of saying the same thing to you...
I've decided to keep my peace of mind,
Before I allowed you to take it away!
To become devalued.
And that is not my intention meant!

Be Encouraged
If you know who it is you are...
The best disguise will not hide you.
Let others masquerade,
With those of false charades.
Those images they have adopted,
Will be dropped.
Leaving them to discover,
Even they do not know who they are.
They have lost their own identities,
In pretentions
That do not nourish, flourish or feed!
If you know who it is you are...
Be encouraged!
You are among the few!

Love In Disguise
Sometimes things fall apart
That's god's love in disguise
And when i break your heart
That's my love in disguise
When you awake in pain
It should come as no surprise
I'm not sure i care
But it still must be there
My love in disguise
And all you want are sweet lies
I see my problem now
Her love was in disguise
Some fear that won't allow
Her love to shed this guise
Ian, don't be a fool
Look what she's done
She'll do it again
Pale, pure, and virgin things
So frail, it turns from my eyes
It hides while i become
So hurt my heart is numb
When love is in disguise
The best you have is sweet lies
Ian she'll be our downfall
Don't believe your eyes
Lies! and she'll leave you all alone
Possessiveness and jealousy
We recognize easily
That which we claim to prize
No one can recognize
The poor young sap is unaware of
Things that we are all aware of
The knife she hides behind her back
Misery! he gets his share of
The flowers must pollinate
The beasts are forced to mate
Woman and man decide
Yet we're not satisfied
God's love is in disguise
And all we want are sweet lies
Sweet lies
Long live the glorious revolution

The Masquerade Is Over
Herb magidson / allie wrubel
My blue horizon is turning gray
And my dreams are drifting away
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your love and so is love
I guess i'll have to play pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like pagliacci with tears in my eyes
You look the same
You're a lot the same
But my heart says "no, no, you're not the same"
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to me
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm affraid the masquerade is over

Life’s Masquerade
Some say life’s one big parade, with many lost in a masquerade,
Living their present life trying to be, someone others want to see,
Many hiding the real person inside, behind a veil of human pride,
Maybe, they are living one big lie, never knowing the reason why.
Some people choose to just exist, living their life in a virtual mist,
Following others they don’t know, who live life like one big show,
Simply following that big crowd, usually lead by one, who’s loud,
As being loud, they do their part, influencing the misguided heart.
Many in a circus like atmosphere, know not even why they’re here,
In this life, grabbing all they can, living their life just as fallen men.
Never looking beyond this earth, for life’s meaning or life’s worth,
Duped by a master of disguise; saying worldliness is rather wise.
Men caught up in a masquerade, are in slavery to men depraved,
Masquerading about in the night, avoiding any hint of God’s light,
They’re lost, as they compromise, the only Truth to make us wise,
Men thinking that they can hide, from a Holy God, if He is denied.
They’ll continue in a masquerade, until their soul by God is saved,
To free men from all Satan’s lies, and do away with their disguise,
Giving men spiritual eyes to see, we’re here to prepare for eternity,
All to be who we are in this life, through the power of Jesus Christ.

I Believe In Love
I see faces!
Coverin an empty i
Empty spaces
Where there used to be a soul inside
Nothin and no one ever gets to them
Seems the wind could blow right through them
Believin in gods that never knew them
I believe in love
I believe in love, I do!
I believe Im feelin good
Im feeling love!
(feeling love is feeling good)
I believe in love
Feeling love is feeling good!
Worry!
Climbin up your money tree
Youve got to hide it
Monkey do what the monkey see
Youre on a one-way street and youre speedin
Missin the signs you should be readin
Thats the things youll later be needin
I believe in love
I believe it, nobody sold me
Always knew it, nobody told me
I believe in someone to hold me
I believe in love
I believe in love, I do!
I believe Im feelin good
Im feeling love!
(feeling love is feeling good)
(feeling love is feeling good, I believe in love)
(feeling love is feeling good)
I believe in love
(feeling love is feeling good, I believe in love)
Feeling love is feeling good!
(I believe in love)
Feeling love is feeling good!
(I believe in love)
Oh, never be lonely!
Sleepin in an empty bed
Shouldnt feel it, just a place to rest my head
But I dont want to find myself one day
Wakin up and lookin at monday
With some whats-her-name left from sunday
I believe in love
I believe it, nobody sold me
Always knew it, nobody told me
I believe in someone to hold me
I believe in love
I believe in love, I do!
I believe Im feelin good
Everybody should!
I believe Im feelin good
Believe in it
Believe in, love!

Love Will Make It Right
(d. fagen)
I knew from the first time I saw you
I wanted you for myself
You feel the same though its got to be wrong
We each belong to somebody else
Once it was vague desire
Now its a raging fire
Those things that people are saying
Cant keep our love on the shelf
How long can we talk about it
What good is life without it
Love will make it right
Love will make it right
Love will choose the night
Love will make it right
Four friends are driving on sunday
Our smiles a useless disguise
By now they know whats inside our hearts
My sweet, it shows in your eyes
Through all the foolish laughter
They know just what were after
How long can we keep on living
This life of unspoken lies
Some will be touched with sadness
But how can we stop the madness
Love will make it right
Love will make it right
Love will choose the night
Love will make it right
Some will be touched with sadness
But how can we stop the madness
Love will make it right
Love will make it right
Love will choose the night
Love will make it right

A Great Disguise
(even stevens/hillary kanter/greg barnhill)
People talking, think Im all right
Think Im doing fine
Goin through the motions of my life
Go to work now every mornin
Yeah I play the part
And hide away the contents of my solemn heart
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
I cant control the flood of all these tears inside
And if they only knew
Theyd be so surprised
Im just a good pretender in a great disguise
Keep em guessin, keep em laughin
Build that wall up high
As long as they dont see the other side
Youve really done it
Done a number, a number on my soul
But Ill be damned if Ill ever let you know
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
Theres no way to hide the truth from me, myself, and i
Yeah, I wear it well
Though it aint my size
Im just a good pretender in a great disguise
Im not one to show emotion
Like some fools I see
I wont wear my heart out on my sleeve
I dont miss you
Not for a moment
Im gonna be okay
Words of wisdom spoken
By the light of day
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
Your memory pulls me under like a strong riptide
Im still in love with you
Its all smoke and lights
Im just a good pretender in a great disguise
Im just a good pretender in a great disguise

Its Up To You
When the breeze between us calls, love comes and lingers into our lives,
And the leaves begin to fall, you point your finger at me.
I love you-
I love you-
In the sadness of your smile love is an island way out to sea,
But it seems so long ago we have been ready trying to be free.
And its up to you,
Why wont you say?
Make our lives turn out this way.
If they knew, that we have got nothing to lose,
No reason to hide from whats true.
In the world of me and you
All is forgotten when were inside
And the words that pass us by,
I am not listening, all of its lies.
And its up to you,
Why wont you say?
Make our lives turn out this way.
If they knew, that we have got nothing to lose,
No reason to hide from whats true,
That we have got nothing to lose.

This Masquerade
This masquerade
Are we really happy with
This lonely game we play
Looking for the right words to say
Searching but not finding
Understanding anyway
Were lost in this masquerade
Both afraid to say were just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
Were lost inside this lonely game we play
(*) throughts of leaving disappear
Each time I see your eyes
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reason
Why we carry on this way
And were lost in this masquerade
We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
Were lost inside this lonely game we play
Repeat (*)
Were lost in a masquerade

You Cant Run
Show me a heart thats got no passion
Ill show you a heart thats got no life
Show me a man that doesnt give his heart
Ill show you a man that tells you lies
Ooo you can try to run, but theres nowhere to hide
Love is stronger than your lies
Oh and ooo, you can deny it all you want
But love will win, its just a matter of time
You know you cant run from love
You know, you know
You know you cant run
Aint nowhere to hide
You know, you cant run you know
You know, you know
You know you cant run
Love is stronger than your lies
Show me a heart thats not committed
Ill show you a man that doesnt try
Show me a heart that doesnt die for love
Ill show you an empty man inside
Ooo you can run, but you wont find no place to hide
Love dont want your heart to die
Oh and ooo, you can deny love all you want
But love is strong and love wont be denied
You know you cant run from love
You know, you know
You know you cant run
Aint nowhere to hide
You know, you cant run you know
You know, you know
You know you cant run
Love is stronger than your lies

Your Love Is So Good For Me
(ken peterson)
Your love is so good for me
Your love is so good for me
Every day you're on my mind
Wanna be near you all the time
You made my poem rhyme
And my heart began to sing again
The day your eyes met mine
Your love is so good for me
Your love is so good for me
Two hearts just running free
Like a wind song through the trees
Your love does not possess
It just holds me where i wanna be
With binds of tenderness
Your love is so good for me
Your love is so good for me
Baby, you know your love is so good
It's good
You know it's good
Like a star up in the sky
Burning brightly, you and i
Time will tell if love survives
For we only have today
And today love is alive
Your love is so good for me
Your love is so good for me
It's so good
You know your love is so good,
So good for me...
It's so good
No need to say the words
When you touch me they will be heard
You gave so much to me
And you showed me how to love the way
True love was meant to be
Your love is so good for me
Your love is so good for me

What Else Ahead of Us Is Next?
I wasn't looking for love.
I wasn't looking for 'you'...
That's for sure!
But...
When our eyes met,
In the way that 'our' eyes met...
We both knew what that feeling was between us.
We both knew what that feeling meant.
What Else Ahead Of Us Is Next?
And for seconds we let it linger.
As if 'forever' came to not forget.
I was not looking for love.
Especially at that time of the day.
And under the circumstances.
We were at work and not at play.
It wasn't a setting for where love should be.
The humidity was high...
And we both were inside,
Sitting amongst others...
Preparing to eat,
Escaping from a Summer heat.
You with other obligations.
And me...
Determined to stay single.
For the rest of my life...
I expected to be.
We were all talking!
And suddenly our eyes...
From opposite ends of a table,
It then 'happened' as if secretly.
THERE.
Our eyes met each other,
And 'there' those feelings we both had...
Knew what it was instantly.
I wasn't looking for love.
I wasn't looking for 'you'...
That's for sure!
But...
When our eyes met,
I did not regret it.
But...
When our eyes met,
There was love understood.
And you and I both let it...
Be!
With a knowing we,
Fell in love magically.
And now...
What on Earth will we choose,
To do...
Next?
Meet discreetly,
To share our passion and sex?
What Else Ahead Of Us Is Next?
I wasn't looking for love.
I wasn't looking for 'you'...
That's for sure!
But...
When our eyes met,
In the way that 'our' eyes met...
What else ahead of us is next?

Slip Away
Baby
I wish you had recognized
The love I had for you
When it was in my heart
And when it was there for you
Because now
Youre coming back to me
And you recognize the love that was once there
But I found somebody else
Its too lateIm sorry
You should have known that I loved you
You should have seen it in my eyes
Should have allowed yourself to
Believe in love, and recognize
That my love, it wasnt going nowhere
Noone but you was in my heart
And I cant believe that you would push your love aside
Baby
[Chorus]
Its too bad
You missed out on me
And its so sad
Sad that youre gone away
And Im sorry
That you missed out on me
But its too late
You let my love slip away
And you should have known that I was open
You should have seen it in my smile
Should have allowed yourself to be adult, instead of a child
But you are the one with insecurities
You tried to put the blame on me
You never knew that my love was really here to stay
And now it is
[Chorus]
Baby tell me how
Baby how could you
Let our, love, fade away
But you never knew
I cared for you, and that I loved you
And you never, gave me
Your everything
This love was not for you
And Baby
[Chorus x2]
You should have known that I loved you
You should have seen it in my eyes
So sorry, but you let my love slip away
You should have known that I was open
You should have seen it in my smile
So sorry, but

Cold Were Your Eyes
I wont forget that day,
When you said to me it was over.
I knew that you,
Were the love I did choose.
My heart you tore apart,
As if our togetherness had no meaning.
Cold were your eyes,
With a look I had never seen.
My mind started pacing,
From mistakes to promises.
Had I awakened giving more,
Not to get...
Your love.
Faking heartbreak,
Is not my specialty.
Nor does trust and devotion,
Mean a return of loyalty.
I wont forget that day,

No Regrets

No regrets
Although our love affair has gone astray
No regrets
I know Ill always care though youre away
So now our happy romance ended suddenly
Still in my heart youll be forever mine
No regrets
Because somebody new looks good to you
No regrets
Sweetheart no matter what you say or do
I know our love will linger
When the other love forgets
So I say goodbye with no regrets
No regrets
Because somebody new looks good to you
No regrets
Sweetheart no matter what you say or do

When the other love forgets
So I say goodbye with no regrets

Suffer In Silence
You say I must leave the past behind
abandon those dreams within my mind
forget all those things we'd left unsaid
circling like vultures in my head
that leave me with silence.
To blow out my torches in the night
just lay down my arms and end the fight
to pick up my heart now from the floor
remove all those chains, unlock that door
to end all this silence.
They say I should move to pastures new
remove all these thoughts I have of you
replace them with new found love instead
presume all those memories good as dead
then fill up this silence.
But what of this tender love inside
that never before felt need to hide
from critical eyes that judge my pain
should only this broken heart remain
to join you in silence.
I know that your thoughts are well inclined
you think that my destiny is blind
that all hope of love lies with your plan
I'd rather continue if I can
to suffer in silence.
