Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know all the lines to say
The part I'm expected to play
But in the reflection, I am worlds away
[Verse 2]
As I put my costume on
Eyelashes one by one
Been doing this so long
I can tie the knot behind my back
[Verse 3]
And everyone's waiting
But it's getting harder to hear what my heart is saying
'Cause everyone's waiting
[Verse 4]
To swallow and breathe, she says
Remember this ain't for you, it's for them
And all of those painful lessons you've had to learn
You're gonna use them now or never
[Verse 5]
'Cause everyone's waiting
But it's getting harder to hear what my heart is saying
Turn it off, I wanna turn it all off
[Verse 6]
When everyone's waiting
It makes it harder to hear what my heart keeps saying
Turn it off, I wanna turn it all off
[Verse 7]
But everyone's waiting
I hear that answers appear when you just stand still
But make it all, after you make it all stop
When everyone's waiting
Everyone's waiting
