Dave Hause - Selfish Masquerade Lyrics

Dave Hause Lyrics

"Selfish Masquerade"
(originally by The Loved Ones)

If I say, "It's alright..."
Do you believe it, or do you know that I'm lying?
"It's ok, it's all right, it'll get done, just not tonight, no not tonight..."
But you know that I'm lying

On and on you'll see it
You'll waste your time believing
The waiting might just drive you up the wall

These castles of sand
Are leaving bloodstains on my hands
Just don't you dare believe in me
Don't you believe in me

When I say, "It's all right..."
See, I believe it, I don't know that I'm lying
"It's ok, it's all right, you'll get out, it's just not gonna be tonight..."
I don't know that I'm lying

On and on you'll see it
You'll waste your time believing
The waiting's gonna drive you up the wall

These castles of sand
Are leaving bloodstains on my hands
Just don't you dare believe in me
No, don't you believe in me

Cause this is my selfish masquerade
I'll tell you what you want to hear, it comes easily to me

These castles of sand
Are leaving bloodstains on my hands
Just don't you dare believe in me
Don't you believe in me
