Gnomes

Am I okay?
About to break?
And fade to grey like the old men say

Oh we had it all and lived in our lovely home
With our garden gnomes but it was all show
Just like the broadway goes
So I told you so and let you go
I had to know!

What life was like on my own
That old limelight would follow me home
And drive us mad
We'd lose what we had
You known, how Broadway goes
We'd have left it alone

Too much to take
Feel like a fake
As I slap on my face with this old grease paint

I've been bled dry feel empty and tired
Do I leave your side so they're satisfied
But I gave
Every minute
Every hour
Have I lost any sense that I had to that old limelight

What was my life like on my own?
That old limelight would follow me home
And drive us mad
We'd lose what we had
You known, how Broadway goes
We'd have left it alone

Please don't give me your hand
Or I'll throw it away
You don't understand
I don't know what to say
I lost my belief
When you sang me to sleep
And I'll give you the key
And you'll know what I mean

What was my life like on my own?
That old limelight would follow me home
And drive us mad
We'd lose what we had
You known, how Broadway goes
We'd have left it alone
