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
