Memorize Your Lines
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.
I've learned how to wait, I know not to beg
I know I shouldn't ask why I wake up feeling dead
(Say forever, that's a dirty word)
(Will you stay here, that's a dirty girl)
Perform of my life, performance of your life
(Act two, scene four, line three)
(I want this room just for me, just for me)
You said you'd never be mine
You swore it to me until the end of time
You said that love's never kind
I memorize these lines, practice them every night
We can talk it out, tell each other lies
We can just pretend today isn't goodbye
(It will be soon, now)
(Heard that before)
(You better polish your speech)
(Before you hit the floor)
Won't you tell me what are we fighting for?
Do you want me here? Do you know for sure?
You know the coldest face is the worst to me
And I won't calm down 'till I get to you
You know that I wish I could undo this role
Let's go back to what, what we came here for
