Текст пісні
There are times when you want to turn back
When you try to speak but your voice cracks
How do you stay yourself
While you play someone else?
All these words that somebody else wrote
When they're not your own, they get caught in your throat
Just remember your role now
Let them borrow your soul now
When the crowds have all gone
Lights go out on the stage
When the curtain comes down
You just want them to say that you never took more than you gave
Close your eyes because you're almost done
You've come all this way just to be someone
All the good love and bad love
You know just what you're made of
Ropes and wires in the dark stage wings
All the rouge and eyeliner, it's both your eyes sting
Back to no audience now
Back to no one to bow for now
When the crowds have all gone
Lights go out on the stage
When the curtain comes down
You just want them to say that you never took more than you gave
Night after night, while you're playing your part
You wait in the wings for your own life to start
Write your own lines now and say them out loud
A shower of roses each time that you bow
When the crowds have all gone
Lights go out on the stage
When the curtain comes down
You just want them to say that you never took more than you gave
When the crowds have all gone
Lights go out on the stage
When the curtain comes down
You just want them to say that you never took more than you gave
