Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I know all the lines to say The part I’m expected to play But in the reflection I am worlds away As I put my costume on Eyelashes one by one Been doing this so long I can tie the knot Behind my back And everyone’s waiting But it’s getting harder to hear what my heart is saying 'Cause everyone’s waiting Just swallow and breathe, she says Remember this ain’t for you it’s for them And all of those painful lessons you’ve had to learn You gotta use them now or never 'Cause everyone’s waiting But it’s getting harder to hear What my heart keeps saying Turn it off, I wanna turn it all off When everyone’s waiting It makes it harder to hear what my heart keeps saying Turn it off, I wanna turn it all off But everyone’s waiting I hear that answers appear when you just stand still But make it all, how do you make it all stop When everyone’s waiting?
