Pen & Paper
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.
This whole routine is getting old
So am I and so are you.
My reputation lets me know I can do whatever I want to
Though it seems that you believe you can do whatever it is you please
Not before, not before you wind up on your knees.
(Don't cry to me no more)
You like the way the people stare at you now.
You look so fake, just thought that you should know
And you're all the same and when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical.
You set yourself up to be sold.
And that's okay cause that's your role.
Manipulation takes it toll.
What will you do when nobody wants you?
Though it seems that you believe you can whatever it is you please.
Not before, not before you wind up on your knees.
(Don't cry to me no more)
You like the way the people stare at you now.
You look so fake, just thought that you should know
And you're all the same and when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical.
I know I stood so long beside you
And I know I should have left you right where I have found you
I know I stood so long beside you
And I know I should have left you right where I have found you
You like the way the people stare at you now.
You look so fake, just thought that you should know
And you're all the same and when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical.
You like the way the people stare at you now.
You look so fake, just thought that you should know
And you're all the same and when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical.
