| There’s a lot I don’t know, but I’ve known you for a while
|
| And I know that it don’t mean much to see you wear a smile
|
| 'Cause you could fool the best of them, when you were falling apart inside
|
| You could choose to confess to them, but instead you’ll continue to hide
|
| But I hate say you’re not an actor and your life’s not a play
|
| You’re going to break down
|
| If you don’t find a way to tell the truth somehow
|
| The stage is getting darker, so take your bow
|
| It must have been something, someone, somewhere said
|
| 'Cause you got some silly ideas stuck up inside your head
|
| Got you thinking you’ve got something to prove, that life is something you
|
| either win or you lose
|
| But I’m going to tell you now that that ain’t true that the only one really
|
| missing out here is you
|
| And I hate to say you’re not an actor and your life’s not a play
|
| You’re going to break down
|
| If you don’t find a way to tell the truth somehow
|
| The stage is getting darker, so take your bow
|
| Ain’t it time, you quit your lying
|
| 'Cause there’s no use in trying
|
| To pretend that you don’t get hurt
|
| And it’s alright, it’s okay
|
| We’re all made of flesh and blood and we all know some sort of pain
|
| You’re not an actor and your life’s not a play
|
| Won’t you listen to me now, won’t you listen to me say
|
| You’re going to break down
|
| If you don’t find a way to tell the truth somehow
|
| The stage is getting darker, so take your bow |
