[Intro]
Whispers in the night, a dance that hides the truth,
Beneath the masks, the lies, and shadows of our youth.
A ballroom filled with laughter, but there’s dread in the air,
For love's sweet embrace turned to a silent despair.
[Verse 1]
In silks of crimson, she spun like a dream,
With eyes of sapphire, she was more than it seemed.
We twirled through the enchantment, a pair out of time,
But fate had a dagger, and it sank in sublime.
[Pre-Chorus]
O, the bells they chimed, as the last dance began,
Unraveling whispers, a sinister plan.
The heartbeats echoed, like a ghost in the hall,
In the flickering candlelight, I felt the shadows crawl.
[Chorus]
At the masquerade, where we lost our way,
A kiss of betrayal, turned the night into day.
Oh, my soulmate's gone, taken by the night,
The waltz of the heart, now a mournful plight.
[Bridge]
Paint me in sorrow, dance with the pain,
Each twirl a memory that’s soaked in the rain.
Her laughter, now haunting, like a phantom will call,
In this ballroom of dreams, where I lost it all.
[Verse 2]
The mask that I wear, it hides all the grief,
But the truth in my eyes? It begs for relief.
Dancing with shadows, I search for her trace,
A mirror of longing in this desolate space.
[Pre-Chorus]
O, the bells they chimed, as the final verse fell,
Underneath the glimmer, only silence could tell.
I reach for her hand, but it slips through the night,
In this elegant chaos, I’m blinded by light.
[Chorus]
At the masquerade, where we lost our way,
A kiss of betrayal, turned the night into day.
Oh, my soulmate's gone, taken by the night,
The waltz of the heart, now a mournful plight.
[Outro]
So I’ll dance with my sorrow, under stars that don’t gleam,
A shattered fairytale, a long-forgotten dream.
In the echoes of the ball, where love did decay,
I’ll wear my heart heavy, in this masquerade.
