From the recording Heartaches
Lyrics
Taken back by the hands of time
Pacing around singing lullabies
Trying to catch my own desire
Looking around for your heart’s fire
Catching my breath but I cannot breathe
Tasting the love that is in need
Loving you from afar too long
Waiting for you to sing my song
CHORUS
Charades, it's all cha-rades*
Why am I standing for this game
Protecting you, saving your face*
When all I feel is an empty space
Try and try and try again
You act as if being with me would be a sin
Why do we keep going on*
Why even play when the love is all gone?
We cannot speak we can’t carry on
I'm over this folly its gone too long
I’m not here to be your friend
I need real emotion
I'm out - we're through
I'm FINALLY over you
Lying to my face, saying you care
When I’m alone
with you standing there
CHORUS
Charades, it's all charades
Why am I standing for this game
Protecting you, saving your face
When all my heart feels is an empty space
Leaving my heart and my body in your wake
I’m looking more and more at hate
Times like these that we can’t get through
I now know it’s all because of you
No more no more charades
I’m over this fucking game
This act I continue to play
I’ve never been a fan of charades
Charades, it's all a charade
Why am I standing for this game
Protecting you, saving your face
When all my heart feels is an empty space
Charades, it's all a charade
Charades, it's all a charade
This game is over
