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
