Party's Over

He's trying to keep you at arm's length

He ain't trying to be heartless

'Cause who in their right mind would carry on regardless?

If it's ready for burning, why you polishing the casket?

Ooh, you're always trying to be, trying to be

Trying to be, trying to be righteous

You're always trying to be, trying to be

Trying to be, trying to be righteous

Change your name and cut your hair

Dance around like no-one's watching

There's no shame in letting go

Burn your bridges, start again

There's a whole world for the taking

Hold him tight and let him go

Fake a smile, take a bow

Now the party's over

Oh

You say it's never the right words

You say it's never the right time

'Cause you're treading water while he's throwing you a lifeline

Don't be a martyr, don't take him under

He was the lightning to your thunder

You're always trying to be, trying to be

Trying to be, trying to be righteous

You're always trying to be, trying to be

Trying to be, trying to be righteous

Change your name and cut your hair

Dance around like no-one's watching

There's no shame in letting go

Burn your bridges, start again

There's a whole world for the taking

Hold him tight and let him go

Fake a smile and take a bow

Now the party's over

It's just a temporary loss

Don't sit around and count the cost

Of all the moments that we lost

Change your name and cut your hair

Dance around like no-one's watching

There's no shame in letting go

Burn your bridges, start again

There's a whole world for the taking

Hold him tight and let him go

Fake a smile and take a bow

Now the party's over
