You deserve an award for the role that you play.

Lights are low, the curtain's down.
There's no one here.
Save your lies, but do you feel them?
Do you mean what you say when there's no one around watching you, watching me?
I've heard them before.

That's exactly what I was for you, a fool.
I used to know why I would do such a thing, but now I'm not so sure anymore.
Do you mean it when you say that you love me?
Or is it an act to keep my mouth shut? You don't have to tell me. I already know

Make them laugh, it comes so easy
when you get to the part when you're breaking my heart.
Right behind your smile, all the world loves a clown.

Wish you well, I cannot stay.
You deserve an award for the role that you play.

All the world is a stage, and everyone has their part.
But how was I to know which way the story goes?
How was I to know you'd break my heart?

Shakespeare was right when he said that the world's a stage,
and everyone are merely players. But where's the script?
Apparently, this whole deal was an improv, but I got lost.
I counted on you to be my guide, but you were a sledgehammer,
hammering my heart to pieces. That's not what I needed,
and that's not what I wanted.

I've always been in love with you,
I guess you've always known its true.
You took my love for granted, why, oh why?
This show is over, say good bye.
