Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You stay out so late just to build connections
They say, "Hey, man, you were great"
But they don't even have the slightest affection
That you're really not doing okay
Maybe tonight you could barely even play
[Verse 2]
The show, it must go on
Even if they don't even come
Colors and the callous turn you
Into a strange and silent one
[Verse 3]
And maybe if you were harsh
Maybe if you weren't you
People would seem to care about
What it is you even do
Maybe if you tried harder
To seem like you didn't love it, but you do
But they're better than you
[Verse 4]
Don't give into the fodder and don't pander a smile
Give yourself a second and give yourself awhile
But believe all that you hear, and assume that they're all watching
And force some words out of your mouth
While all their eyes are watching
[Verse 5]
And maybe if you were harsh
Maybe if you weren't you
People would seem to care about
What it is you even do
Maybe if you tried harder
To seem like you didn't love it, but you do
But they're better than you
