The Show Must Go On letra

The credits roll you got the girl
The bad guy was defeated
As "Pet Sounds" plays you drive into the sunset
The crowd applauds you take a bow
It happened like you dreamed it
You got everything you have ever wanted

Cut the scene, it's 4:15
You're staring at the ceilin'
It all feels out of your control
You push it down so no one knows

If you're always puttin' on a show
You'll lose yourself before you know
As easy lovers come and easy go
So you wear the mask, you dry your eyes

You keep it all locked up inside
Pawn your broken heart and sell your soul
And you tell yourself you must be strong
'Cause the show must go on

The endless race to validation tell yourself you need it
The ego's always hungry so you feed it
Keep alive the child's mind, you nurture and believe him
Your heart will tell the truth if you receive it

It recently occurred to me
Time on earth is fleetin'
And Since none of us are in control
We outta learn to let it go

If you're always puttin' on a show
You'll lose yourself before you know
As easy lovers come and easy go
So you wear the mask, you dry your eyes

You keep it all locked up inside
Pawn your broken heart and sell your soul
And you tell yourself you must be strong
'Cause the show must go on

If you're always puttin' on a show
You'll lose yourself before you know
As easy lovers come and easy go
So you wear the mask, you dry your eyes

You keep it all locked up inside
Pawn your broken heart and sell your soul
And you tell yourself you must be strong
'Cause the show must go on
