The lights are brighter than the ones in your eyes
Your cheeks caked with blush
I wonder what you're thinking when you're up there
I wonder if you're performing for her
Scene after scene
Line after line
I just want to break down and cry
Because when you look out into the crowd
With that stupid smile on your face
You skip right on past me
I never mattered anyway
You can tap my shoulder all you want
And I'll tell you that you did great
But nothing is sincere
Our entire lives are a play
So tomorrow when you push your hair back
And straighten your tie
I'll be walking out the back door
Forgive me if I don't say goodbye
