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
