Up on the stage Everyone acts Acts all the same They push themselves back Erase all the facts Up on the stage Everyone hides Hides all their pain They wash it all down Til they don't make a sound Does it ever get easier Acting the right way Does it ever get easier When you know you're going the wrong way Up on the stage Heart's on the line But what if it don't shine Everyone lies Why can't I Up on the stage I hide in my songs While you sing along It comes out so vague So no one sees its shape Does it ever get easier Acting the right way Does it ever get easier When you know you're going the wrong way Does it ever get easier Acting the right way Does it ever get easier Finding my own way
