After the Opera

It's a rhythm when you break my heart Get me going, get me going then you cut me off Keep me singing the same sad song (ah ah ah ah ah ah ah) Walk in with your drama, throw your jacket on the floor Seems like all we got is problems Should have left them at the door Everybody sees us, yeah we put on quite the show But no one sees the tragedies we write when we're alone It's a rhythm when you break my heart Get me going, get me going then you cut me off Keep me singing the same sad song I'll be better, I'll be better when the music's gone It's a rhythm when you break my heart (ah ah ah ah ah ah ah) Curtain's closing on your opera (ah ah ah ah ah ah ah) I hate the way you tease me Get me wound up just to leave me Every night's another circus, all theatrics with no purpose Sorry I'm not sorry, I won't play along tonight Won't listen to your symphony, it's time to say goodbye It's a rhythm when you break my heart Get me going, get me going then you cut me off Keep me singing the same sad song I'll be better, I'll be better when the music's gone It's a rhythm when you break my heart (ah ah ah ah ah ah ah) Curtain's closing on your opera (ah ah ah ah ah ah ah) And the tears roll down your eyes We'll both be better on the other side It's a rhythm when you break my heart Get me going, get me going then you cut me off Keep me singing the same sad song I'll be better, I'll be better when the music's gone It's a rhythm when you break my heart (ah ah ah ah ah ah ah) Curtain's closing on your opera (ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
