They see us holding hands,
with smiles on our face.
A kiss that's soft and gentle.
They say "Oh, how sweet."

And you say that we're together
if anyone asks.
That we're quite a couple
without any masks.

But behind all the faethm
and simple closed doors,
Theirs something only we know
Never shared before.

The answer to the question
was always left unanswered.
"We're practically married,
What more could you want?"

We're not a real couple
It's just a mirage.

You say that we're together
if anyone asks.
But we're not a couple
It's only a mask.
