You've paid and you've suffered
 Been everyone's fool
 You beg to be noticed
 You're licking your wounds
 You wait and you wonder how
 "Was it any use?"
 Try taking that armor down
 And just this once
 Why don't you fight?
 So I fall in love
 Let my heart take over
 Enjoy the show
 Cause you'll see
 Cause you'll see who I really am
 You wake and you wonder
 Through days of despair
 Yet you remain hopeful
 That there's somebody there
 You bear all the burden for
 For those who don't care
 But it's not really worth it no
 The curtain's raised
 Start the play
 Tears in your eyes
 So I fall in love
 Let my heart take over
 Enjoy the show
 Cause you'll see
 Cause you'll see who I really am
 So I took out my passion
 With a blow to the head
 And it was through my own action
 That our romance was dead
 So I fall in love
 Let my heart take over
 Enjoy the show
 Cause you'll see
 Cause you'll see who I really am
 I'm portraying and imitating
 Everything I'm not
 As I'm performing you're adoring
 But my facade will rot
 I'm portraying and imitating
 Everything I'm not
 As I'm performing you're adoring
 But my facade will rot
 I'm portraying and imitating
 Everything I'm not
 As I'm performing you're adoring
 But my facade will rot
 I'm portraying and imitating
 Everything I'm not
 As I'm performing you're adoring
 But my facade will rot
