[Overture]

[Verse 1]
My life is a musical
I know how to put on a pretty pathetic show
I hide backstage
Keep the curtains closed
'Cause I'm scared, I'm scared

[Verse 2]
I'm getting pretty good at feeding them the lines they like
But I don't recognize the girl that I face each night
I can compromise till I'm convinced
It's right

[Pre-Chorus]
What happened to the girl who could overlook the world?
She never gave a second thought to what the other people thought
What happened to the dream of rejecting the routine?
'Cause they never worked for me

[Chorus]
I'm gonna burn this theater down
And pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script and scream every line like
"This is it!"
[Verse 3]
They say all the world's a stage
Rewriting your identity is all the rage
Well next act please, I'd like a change
I don't really like pretending
This way

[Pre-Chorus]
What happened to the girl who could overlook the world?
She never gave a second thought to what the other people thought
What happened to the dream of rejecting the routine?
'Cause they never worked for me

[Chorus]
I'm gonna burn this theater down and pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script and scream every line
Like, "this is it!"

I'm gonna burn this theater down
And pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script and scream every line
Like, "this is it!"

[Bridge]
And the sad thing is we're all in on the action
We're all holding our breath, waiting for a reaction
You play your part
I'll be playing with matches
And if you'd like a show, you can follow the ashes
[Chorus]
I'm gonna burn this theatre down
And pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script and scream every line like
"This is it!"

I'm gonna burn this theatre down
And pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script and scream every line like...
"This is it!"
