lyrics

Can I take it for granted that this is the end
Or walk away empty handed and left to pretend?
'Cause sooner or later the tide has to turn
How many times must a lesson be learned?

Shall I pick up the pieces you left on the ground
Or lie down beside them without even making a sound

Has the curtain come down before a word has been said
Or was that just the overture over my head?
Tell me the show never really began
'Cause the whole damn production is out of my hands

This is no dress rehearsal
We don't have a plot
And no universal solution to the scenes that we shot

There's no easy route
When I don't even know my direction
And spare me the truth
When I don't even know what the question was
What the question was

Can I take it for granted that this is the end
Or walk away empty handed and left to pretend?
'Cause sooner or later the tide has to turn
How many times must a lesson be learned?

Shall I pick up the pieces you left on the ground
Or lie down beside them without even making a sound

There's no easy route
When I don't even know my direction
And spare me the truth
When I don't even know what the question was

There's no easy route
When I don't even know my direction
And spare me the truth
When I don't even know what the question was
What the question was
