Just when you start to smile
Pay the price to see the show but you don't own me
You'll lose what you once had for me
You push me to perform for your amusement
You just know what you see
Your attempts in vain
Before you knew would you have felt the same?
Pay the price to see the show but you don't own me
You burn what's left inside of me
Just when I'm inspired
You drain the drive right outta me
Like raging fire
The words remain
I hold it to the light, I see right through
I'll be out of style
So eager to say, "Hello" but you don't know me
You've less sincerity than the plastic
To fulfill your desire
The print appears so bright to me
Pay the price to see the show but you don't own me
You just know what you see
Wait around awhile
So eager to say, "Hello" but you don't know me
So eager to say "Hello" but you don't know me
To express any real emotion
Your veiled denial
Even when I'm tired
You just know what you see
Paper in the rain
I'd give you light till I burned out
I look into your eyes and see
Before you knew would you have felt the same? No
I'll be discarded with the warmth you once feigned
