The Act We Act
I'm watching you walkAs you walk that distant wayTake that thing away from meTake away most everythingI couldn't say I'd blame youYou should never look in backYou wouldn't be to blameIf you couldn't take it backHours slipping by as you watchThe worlds collideNow you're nothing moreThan another passerbyThe dark it turns to lightIn a distant flash of nightRolling with the tide I confideThe act we wear it thin againIf affection holds you backThen what is left to holdIf I could find the answer to thatQuestion then I'd knowThe thoughts thatClutter up your mindAnd leave me feeling drainedAnd walking pacing up the wallsSongtexteAcross the floor againAll the things I haven't seenOnce the final curtain has been raisedThe act we act is wearing thinThe act we act we under my skinThe words the words we said goodbyeThe words left choking in my mindThe act we act is wearing thinI think we wear it out againAnother big explosionLeaving you hopingThat something that onceHeld you downCould leave you feelingOn the groundThe confusion that persistsDecisions that you guessedThe one to stay and watch thisThe one you might have missedAll the things I haven't seenOnce the final curtain has been raisedThe act we act is wearing thinThe act we act we under my skinThe words the words we said goodbyeThe words left choking in my mindThe act we act is wearing thinI think we wear it out againThe act we act we under my skinThe act we act we under myForming a conclusionAnd you're left standing Aus Songtexte Mania
