I took the knocks for you
And picked myself up
I’ve been slapped in the face too many times
How can I keep this up
Can I keep my grace
Please can I fill my cup
I can manage without you now
I can manage this lonely stuff
I can hear the voices in the wings
Wishing me away
I can hear your voice
Dismissing my character from your passion play
I looked at my watch and seen
That nothing has changed
My wounds are deeper now
I’m under the waves
I was under your spell
I guess I was yours
But love is no gift, no
Look no gift box
I can hear the voices in the wings
Wishing me away
I can hear your voice
Dismissing my character from your passion play
You see there’s no show without a punch
Somebody has to take the blame
But we keep our curtains raised just in case
Because we’re built that way
If love is just an act
Then I don’t need this part
Just a change of scenery, yeah
Just a brand new heart
I can hear the voices in the wings
Wishing me away
I could hear your voice
Dismissing my character from your passion play
You see there’s no show without a punch
Somebody has to take the blame
We keep our glasses raised just in case
Because we’re built that way
