Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I met you, we made a pact
Broke promises, the system snaps
All your lies and neon lights are old
[Verse 2]
Dicta-coated miracles
And then one day the curtain called
Behind your smile
You're phony and a fake
[Verse 3]
Give it up
You've been discovered
Don't look back
'Cause you've just lost your lover
Give it up
You're an illusion
Play your tricks and all I get
Is just confusion
[Verse 4]
And now we're through
The show is over
The audience is walking out the room
You know it's true
What I told ya
That all you've done comes back around on you
[Verse 5]
You said you were built to last
You took my hand
You made a pass
The moon eclipsed
And circled round my heart
[Verse 6]
With your kiss, my life began
Your love, it hit
And then you ran
And I hope you pay your dues
I'm moving on
[Verse 7]
Give it up
You've been discovered
Don't look back
'Cause you've just lost your lover
Give it up
You're an illusion
Play your tricks and all I get
Is just confusion
[Verse 8]
And now we're through
The show is over
The audience is walking out the room
You know it's true
What I told ya
That all you've done comes back around on you
[Verse 9]
You might think I'm sitting home
And crying
But I'm not, oh no
I've pulled the Queen of Clubs
There's no denying
I'm having the time
Of my life
[Verse 10]
And now we're through
The show is over
The audience is walking out the room
You know it's true
What I told ya
That all you've done comes back around on you
[Verse 11]
And now we're through
The show is over
The audience is walking out the room
You know it's true
What I told ya
That all you've done comes back around
All you've done comes back around on you
