Lyrics

A frantic scramble, the curtain’s raised
A hasty start for a one-man-play
The spotlight burning up the stage

And you can fake love and you can give your word
But it won’t be enough, even though everyone heard

An improvisation with no clear plan
But the act wore thin on his audience
The fourth wall never had a chance

And you can fake love and you can give your word
But it won’t be enough, even though everyone heard
And you can fake love and you can give your word
But it won’t be enough, you’ll be the only one hurt

And somehow she always knew but she saw only what she wanted to
Until a voice inside her head said, “I would rather end this now than feel so dead…”
“ ‘Cause I’m not dead…”
“No, I’m not dead…”
“No, I’m not dead!!!”

Down came the theater with such a fall
Down came everything and nothing at all
Down came the fourth wall

And you can fake love and you can give your word
But it won’t be enough, even though everyone heard
And you can fake love and you can give your word
But it won’t be enough, even though everyone heard
You’ll be the only one hurt
