Curtains open up the scene Spotlight shines on you and me Tonight Pretending for the crowd below We put on a real good show But it's a lie (but it's a lie)
We can't help but 'cause a fight It's the same old drama every night I walk off stage cause this whole play Is more than I can take
No, I don't want it to be over But we need a break before You break my heart Oh, We can't live this scene forever Right now you and me are better Better off apart But I'll still love you when the lights come up For our intermission
I was once put out the door I couldn't play the part no more With you The chemistry just wasn't there. I couldn't act like i didn't care When I do, I do...
We can't help but 'cause a fight It's the same old drama every night I walk off stage 'cause this whole play Is more than I can take
No, I don't want it to be over But we need a break before You break my heart And oh, We can't live this scene forever Right now you and me are better Better off apart But I'll still love you when the lights come up Yeah, I'll still love you when the lights come up
When the lights come up...
We're like actors in a play Living out our love on stage You're just saying the same old lines To me, yeah So where we fell off track But I know love will lead us back
No, I don't want it to be over But we need a break before You break my heart Oh We can't live this scene forever Right now you and me are better Better off apart But I'll still love you when the lights come up Yeah, I'll still love you when the lights come up
Oh... Baby, I'm gonna love you when the lights come up I'm still gonna love you when the lights come up Baby, I'm gonna love you when the lights come up
