We still wear our rings, we still say I love you We both play the part oh so well But everyone knows it's just a sad show And we're only fooling ourselves It's like living in a house with no curtains The whole world can see what's inside You can turn out the lights in a house with no curtains But heartache has nowhere to hide We could pack up and leave in different directions If we just had somewhere to go We just keep on pretending afraid of the ending Admitting what everyone knows It's like living in a house with no curtains The whole world can see what's inside You can turn out the lights in a house with no curtains But heartache has nowhere to hide You can turn out the lights In a house with no curtains But heartache has nowhere to hide
