lyrics

Hoping that she'd say goodbye a different way
Not stilted and afraid
Dress rehearsal, situation comedy
My one-trick show awaits
Won't you go
Just so you know, my dear
This play will close today
On a smile that never fades
And even if it all should tumble to the ground
I know I will have found
A bond that could never be staged
One misstep could make the backdrop shake and fall
It's all two-dimensional
And the lead actress has drawn with lipstick on my face
Put me in a brighter place
And it shows
Just so you know, my dear
This play will close today
On a smile that never fades
And even if it all should tumble to the ground
I know I will have found
A bond that could never be staged
Wishing that I'd said hello a braver way
Not stilted and afraid
I'll shake this stage fright
And I'll stay here for a while
I'm all smiles
