The Act We Act

I'm watching you walk As you walk that distant way Take that thing away from me Take away most everything I couldn't say I'd blame you But you should never look in back You wouldn't be to blame If you couldn't take it back Hours slipping by as you watch The worlds collide And now you're nothing more Than another passerby The dark it turns to light In a distant flash of night I'm rolling with the tide, I confide The act we wear it thin again If affection holds you back Oh, then what is left to hold If I could find the answer To that question then I'd know The thoughts that clutter up your mind And leave me feeling drained And walking, pacing up the walls Across the floor again And all the things I haven't seen Once the final curtain has been raised The act, we act is wearing thin The act, we act we under my skin The words, the words we said goodbye The words left choking in my mind The act, we act is wearing thin I think we wear it out again Another big explosion Leaving you hoping That something that once held you down Could leave you feeling on the ground The confusion that persists Decisions that you guessed The one to stay and watch this The one you might have missed All the things I haven't seen Once the final curtain has been raised The act, we act is wearing thin The act, we act we under my skin The words, the words we said goodbye The words left choking in my mind The act, we act is wearing thin I think we wear it out again, now The act, we act we under my skin, now The act, we act we under my Forming a conclusion And you're left standing
