Curtain Call

Two perfect silhouettes fading as the years go by

They feel it happening but grown too numb to even try

She whispers in his ear (I love you)

So heartless, all her words they smile

Turn away and think of better days when things were easy

Innocence and honesty like the schoolgirl in my dreams

Perfect picture of everything you used to be

How do we play these parts while staying true at heart

When the story is all wrong?

It’s just a game we play, the scripted words you say

Mean nothing to me

Fake smiles and kisses like corpses

We can drag it out, we can force this

Or at least until something better comes around and carries us away

If I could leave without words you’d never hear from me again

So long, my friend

You hung the roses that I gave you so they would last forever

Then they dried up and you threw them out

What did you expect? You left them there to wither

Taking each day for granted that they’d been there

How do we play these parts while staying true at heart

When the story is all wrong?

It’s just a game we play, the scripted words you say

Mean nothing to me

I feel it getting closer to say I’ve been away

Now the end is here, there’s nothing left to say

I feel it getting closer to say I’ve been away

Now the end is here, there’s nothing left to say
