These days it's hard to tell From where you and I we came And if our eyes finally meet Would it be as strangers on a train? We lost what we once shared Now all I want to do is reclaim So just give me the word And then give me, give me his name Pass me the mask Let us begin Let yourself be loved And let me be him Is this where he stands? Teach me to be a different man I'd rather live a lie For just one night Than to be the man I am Does he hold you at night? Does he wear a cologne? Does he bathe you in the morning light? Or is that something you do alone? Does he move in that way? The way I never dared? And is he selfish in love Or is that something, something you share? Pass me the mask Let us begin Let yourself be loved And let me be him Is this where he stands? Teach me to be a different man I'd rather live a lie For just one night Than to be the man I am
