"The Show Must Go On" Lyrics

I won't lie, I'm somehow incomplete.
I've read the script that's been written for me.
But I know where my heart lies,
I know where I belong,
And it's further than it seems.

Our chests opened on this stage,
Our lives for the taking,
Our hearts for the breaking.

I hope that I will never break character.
This is all I know,
All I love,
All you'll ever know of me.

It's love not hope that got us this far.
My fingers bleed for this guitar.
I'm still young and i still believe.
This love,
This blood,
Means everything.
What have I done,
I've broken character once again.

I've clipped my own wings this time,
Never had the chance to leave the ground.
They said we'd never shine,
And when the time came we all forgot our lines.
These eyes don't lie half as good as we do,
But in our hearts we knew,
The show must go on.

They said I would never sing from my heart,
But somehow I lost my voice.
They told me I'd never sing from my heart,
But somehow I lost my voice.
