 Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer

The curtain has fallen down
The lights don't shine like before
I don't want to sign anymore
The stage is empty and there's
A ringmaster who prepares with
A chain on my leg
They say sing once again
They're waiting on you
To put an act through
But who am I signing for?
There is nobody in the seats
The lights have been out since she's gone
I thought you all we're gonna stay
I expect the calls for encore but I guess it got late
The curtains draw across like some lumbering gate
It felt wide open a few weeks back, but that's when I was twenty-eight
And Time
Time marches on, and I guess people do the same
The same fans faded away who used to clamber at the stage
New era, new style, new generation, new age
And this stupid futile wishing that it all would stay the same
You expect it
At least to an extent
But that doesn't stop the bleeding needy thoughts of where they went
And that expectation stopped at those who knew me superficially
But the ones close that I trusted too? Is this really how you pictured me?
A commodity to demand? A puppet to command?
The strings so small and fine I barely felt them in my hands
That now so messily form tangles and strangle each breath
A silent devastation replayed alone inside my head
But who am I signing for?
There is nobody in the seats
The lights have been out since she's gone
And I'm
Just an old wolf
Laying on the cold
Someday I'll forget
They told me to sing and I never question why
They'd tell me to jump and I'd replied with how high?
On life must we be to create and sing and breathe
Assuming it was mutual, you and me, I saw us all a team, but
You held the key to the chains I would never even see
Until the toxic trust would make them rust and slowly stuffen and freeze
In your eyes, I was the one place that money grew on trees
Determined to shake leaves free until I stood naked in the breeze
And now I'm an empty husk, the corn that's been shucked
The lover never kissed, but well and truly - shhhhh
I thought the arms were for hugs and didn't think to duck
So I lost even greater balance when the blow finally struck
And now I'm singing to a crowd of phantoms and I stare right through their eyes
Echos in an auditorium bounce and waver side to side
And when the quiet deafens I slowly realize
My surroundings now simply match the emptiness inside
But who am I signing for?
There is nobody in the seats
The lights have been out since she's gone
There is
Nothing to be seen
And you will never be back
Someday I'll forget
But showtime is over now (The look on your face when I sang you to sleep going through every phase of "You're My Sunshine")
Someday I'll forget (Or you pulling me close)
I won't sing again (Not letting me go to turn off the lights so we wouldn't sleep)
But showtime is over now (The breeze on the willow hitting our window calling you gorgeous)
Someday I'll forget (You ruined my life)
I won't sing again (By not being mine anymore)
