The Act

you just look up and she's gone like she was never planning to hold on Now were wide awake from a dream And theres a constant waking thunder of what ever swept her off her feet Then another day I can see us run Staring at the sun the world was our secret and it was ours our story to come undone Then the ground I feel it shake I feel you fall No, I feel you torn away from me but that was never how it happened at all Both sun and rain were coming down At least we wanted to think even our intentions were going wrong and just like lightning without thunder you never woulda seen it come and the show had just begun I can see your lies through your smile through your desperate silent thunder you dont need to talk Yuo dont even need to open your mouth and this facade is getting old we'll pretend we're being friends and play our role like it was the greatest story every told So, take a bow collect your flowers does it ever make you wonder why we never mentioned what we were always pointing out The show is done The crowd is gone Now we'll go our separate ways and make it look as easy as paper being torn Enough with the act they all know Let's not pretend it's not the end we could see it coming with our eyes closed
