Encore

[Verse 1] Can you hear the sound of the silence? (Hush, hush now) The spotlights fading away Like a serenade of the quiet (Drown it out) The choir leaving the stage [Pre-Chorus] Every time you took my breath away (I lost something inside) Every time you threw me a bouquet (All the roses, they died) So I think it's time you walk away (The show is closing tonight) Yeah, I think it's time you walk away, way, way [Chorus] And don't come back for the encore, the encore Don't come back like you want more, you want more Can't you see that the curtain is closing? You can't cut me open no more Don't come back for the applause, the applause 'Cause I'm already long gone, I'm long gone Can't you see that the show is all over? Confetti all over the floor But don't come back for the encore Don't come back for the encore Don't come back for the encore Don't come back for the encore [Verse 2] Can you hear the beat of my heart go (Boom, boom, boom?) But it's not beating for you Like a symphony in the dark, we lost our tune Don't you think our time is through? (Ooh) [Pre-Chorus] Every time you took my breath away (I lost something inside) Every time you threw me a bouquet (All the roses, they died) So I think it's time you walk away (The show is closing tonight) Yeah, I think it's time you walk away, way, way [Chorus] And don't come back for the encore, the encore Don't come back like you want more, you want more Can't you see that the curtain is closing? You can't cut me open no more (No more) Don't come back for the applause, the applause 'Cause I'm already long gone, I'm long gone Can't you see that the show is all over? Confetti all over the floor (The floor) But don't come back for the encore Don't come back for the encore Don't come back for the encore Don't come back for the encore [Bridge] Can you hear the sound of the silence? Hush, hush now Hush, hush now [Chorus] And don't come back for the encore, the encore Don't come back like you want more, you want more (Want more) Can't you see that the curtain is closing? You can't cut me open no more (No, no, no, no, no, no) Don't come back for the applause, the applause 'Cause I'm already long gone, I'm long gone (I'm long gone, long gone, long gone) Can't you see that the show's all over? Confetti all over the floor (Floor, floor, floor) But don't come back for the encore (Yeah, yeah) Don't come back for the encore (Yeah, yeah) Don't come back for the encore (Yeah, yeah) Don't come back for the encore (Yeah, yeah)
