Curtain Call

I trapped myself by my own hand

I'd never be this bold in person

I learned to play it like a game

Nothing's louder than a curtain call

One day I'll have to let it end

Find myself behind the curtain

Let myself be loved again

With every line of every single song

What if my tears fall where they will?

What if my angry words play out?

What if I scream without a crowd

Or let myself truly be still?

I wouldn't mind playing the fool

I'm not supposed to understand

How my words always would come true

When every night I'm saying something new

How I know my life begins

It's where I know I'm not pretending

When the lights go on again

My love, forgive me for it all

I used to be afraid of endings

I made the empty stage my friend

And let myself be loved again

With every line of every single song

That's where I'll know my life begins

That's where I'll know I'm not pretending

When the lights go on again

My love, forgive me for it all

I used to be afraid of endings

I made the empty stage my friend

And let myself be born again

In every line of every single song

Curtain's falling

Curtain's falling

Curtain's falling
