After The Opera

It’s a rhythm when you break my heart

Get me going, get me going then you cut me off

Keep me singing the same sad song

(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

Walk in with your drama, throw your jacket on the floor

Seems like all we got is problems

Should have left them at the door

Everybody sees us, yeah we put on quite the show

But no one sees the tragedies we write when we’re alone

It’s a rhythm when you break my heart

Get me going, get me going then you cut me off

Keep me singing the same sad song

I’ll be better, I’ll be better when the music’s gone

It’s a rhythm when you break my heart (ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

Curtain’s closing on your opera

(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

I hate the way you tease me

Get me wound up just to leave me

Every night’s another circus, all theatrics with no purpose

Sorry I’m not sorry, I won’t play along tonight

Won’t listen to your symphony, it’s time to say goodbye

It’s a rhythm when you break my heart

Get me going, get me going then you cut me off

Keep me singing the same sad song

I’ll be better, I’ll be better when the music’s gone

It’s a rhythm when you break my heart (ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

Curtain’s closing on your opera

(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

And the tears roll down your eyes

We’ll both be better on the other side

It’s a rhythm when you break my heart

Get me going, get me going then you cut me off

Keep me singing the same sad song

I’ll be better, I’ll be better when the music’s gone

It’s a rhythm when you break my heart (ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

Curtain’s closing on your opera

(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
