When the makeup runs it's course
And the line grows more defined
Your brilliance starts to dim
A diamond that just won't shine

Yet it's no fault of your own
It's the apathy of time
That now shows on your face
No longer a twist of lime

Such a shame
Your time has come and gone
Such a shame
It only last so long

Now the stagelights have been closed
And the last note has been sung
The chairs have all been folded
And the nights no longer young

Yet there's nothing you can do
In the end there's only you
That's just the way life goes
Door once open are now closed

Such a shame
Your time has come and gone
Such a shame
It only last so long
