Pretending for the crowd below, we put on a real good show, but it's a lie

I walk offstage cause this whole play is more than I can take
C Am F G
Woah, I don't want it to be over, but we need a break before you break my heart
C Am F G
Oh, we can't live this scene forever, right now you and me are better, better off apart

But I'll still love you when the lights come up for our intermission
