Lyrics
Stop The Show
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
you don't tell me anything
that's not a dream
that's not a big lie
you're not going anywhere
you don't care
you think that's fine
you don't owe me anything
you're offering
it's already mine
your best friend is everywhere
they don't care
they think you're slime
you don't even know
what it means to take your own advice
and then
expect me to look surprised
after awhile you know their style and that's enough to know they suck
and when you know they'll stop the show because they know you know
I know it's sad but don't feel bad they knew they had it coming
after awhile it hurts to smile and if you laugh it's just a typical miracle
