Her show must go on

Sat in a room alone
A girl sits scrolling
through her phone
Images of a boy
She used to know
But he is gone
For a long time
Now and never
Coming back

But her show must go on

Deep inside she cries and cries
A perfect performance of
Rehearsed lies
They cheer her songs
Praise her art
All while she hides her
Broken heart

She stands and plays her symphonies
The fake version everyone sees
A girl who's happy full of life
But long sleeves hide the scars
From a knife
They cheer and clap demand an encore
But she knows she cant keep this up anymore

But her show must go on


Deep inside she cries and cries
A perfect performance of
Rehearsed lies
They cheer her songs
Praise her art
All while she hides her
Broken heart

She drinks and parties with her friends
Trying to delay how her story ends
She gets drunk is free and loose
While at home awaits her noose
She hooks up with a guy just for a night
She knows shes already lost this fight

But her show must go on

Deep inside she cries and cries
A perfect performance of
Rehearsed lies
They cheer her songs
Praise her art
All while she hides her
Broken heart

But her show must go on
Must go on and on
