"Showtime" Lyrics

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 wander,
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.
