The credits roll you got the girl The bad guy was defeated As "Pet Sounds" plays you drive into the sunset The crowd applauds you take a bow It happened like you dreamed it You got everything you have ever wanted
Cut the scene, it's 4: 15 You're staring at the ceilin' It all feels out of your control You push it down so no one knows
If you're always puttin' on a show You'll lose yourself before you know As easy lovers come and easy go So you wear the mask, you dry your eyes You keep it all locked up inside Pawn your broken heart and sell your soul And you tell yourself you must be strong 'Cause the show must go on
The endless race to validation tell yourself you need it The ego's always hungry so you feed it Keep alive the child's mind, you nurture and believe him Your heart will tell the truth if you receive it
It recently occurred to me Time on earth is fleetin' And Since none of us are in control We outta learn to let it go
If you're always puttin' on a show You'll lose yourself before you know As easy lovers come and easy go So you wear the mask, you dry your eyes You keep it all locked up inside Pawn your broken heart and sell your soul And you tell yourself you must be strong 'Cause the show must go on
If you're always puttin' on a show You'll lose yourself before you know As easy lovers come and easy go So you wear the mask, you dry your eyes You keep it all locked up inside Pawn your broken heart and sell your soul And you tell yourself you must be strong 'Cause the show must go on
