You say that you love me
Just like a question you dread the answer to
Look at me I know you would let this go
On and on like you always do
We are performers without a stage
We know the lines by heart
We’re supposed to say
Man, what a rough day
What you want to do for supper
Is there anything good on TV?
You got a call from your mother
Guess I could stay here and pretend forever
But you deserve better
You deserve better
I’d hoped this nagging feeling
Would go away and it’s really not too late
It’s so hard to live with
Disappointment always written on your face
We are performers without a stage
We know the lines by heart
We’re supposed to say
How long you staying up tonight
Guess I’m going on to bed
Go ahead and turn out the lights
Probably sleep here instead
Guess I could stay here and pretend forever
But you deserve better
You deserve better
Guess I could stay here and pretend forever
But you deserve better
You deserve better
You deserve better
You deserve better
You deserve better
