Curtain Call

I trapped myself by my own hand I'd never be this bold in person I learned to play it like a game Nothing's louder than a curtain call One day I'll have to let it end Find myself behind the curtain Let myself be loved again With every line of every single song What if my tears fall where they will What if my angry words play out What if I scream without a crowd Or let myself truly be still I wouldn't mind playing the fool I'm not supposed to understand How my words always would come true When every night I'm saying something new How I know my life begins It's where I know I'm not pretending When the lights go on again My love, forgive me for it all I used to be afraid of endings I made the empty stage my friend And let myself be loved again With every line of every single song That's where I'll know my life begins That's where I'll know I'm not pretending When the lights go on again My love, forgive me for it all I used to be afraid of endings I made the empty stage my friend And let myself be born again In every line Of every single song Curtain's falling Curtain's falling Curtain's falling
