Gnomes

Am I okay?

About to break?

And fade to grey like the old men say

Oh we had it all and lived in our lovely home

With our garden gnomes but it was all show

Just like the broadway goes

So I told you so and let you go

I had to know!

What life was like on my own

That old limelight would follow me home

And drive us mad

We'd lose what we had

You known, how Broadway goes

We'd have left it alone

Too much to take

Feel like a fake

As I slap on my face with this old grease paint

I've been bled dry feel empty and tired

Do I leave your side so they're satisfied

But I gave

Every minute

Every hour

Have I lost any sense that I had to that old limelight

What was my life like on my own?

That old limelight would follow me home

And drive us mad

We'd lose what we had

You known, how Broadway goes

We'd have left it alone

Please don't give me your hand

Or I'll throw it away

You don't understand

I don't know what to say

I lost my belief

When you sang me to sleep

And I'll give you the key

And you'll know what I mean

What was my life like on my own?

That old limelight would follow me home

And drive us mad

We'd lose what we had

You known, how Broadway goes

We'd have left it alone
