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)
