Take a left at the exit, please
He's gotta get out of this body
His lungs collapse on the side of his guitar
Regrets with nothing left so far
Cuz he knows when or not to play himself
He wears the perfect disguise
That keeps them on their feet
Tryna' play Prince Charming
When he's dying within
Tells himself he gotta be real
Tells himself he's going to steal the scene
He's asking the question
Rather he's messing around or he's serious
Take a right over here
Please and thank you
Cuz he's gotta get his head outta the sky
And a decision to lie
To keep him fine
Cuz he knows when or not to play himself
He wears the perfect disguise
That keeps them on their feet
Tryna' play Prince Charming
When he's dying within
Tells himself he gotta be real
Tells himself he's going to steal the scene
He's asking the question
Rather he's messing around or he's serious
Time can't buy
What we're looking for
It's like an island
Oppressed and we're poor
If this turns out the way
It's supposed to go
It feels so right
When everything's so blinding in the lights
He wears the perfect disguise
That keeps them on their feet
Tryna' play Prince Charming
When he's dying within
Tells himself he gotta be real
Tells himself he's going to steal the scene
He's asking the question
Rather he's messing around or he's serious
