Bravery Way

Hoping that she'd say goodbye a different way Not stilted and afraid Dress rehearsal, situation comedy My one-trick show awaits Won't you go Just so you know, my dear This play will close today On a smile that never fades And even if it all should tumble to the ground I know I will have found A bond that could never be staged One misstep could make the backdrop shake and fall It's all two-dimensional And the lead actress has drawn with lipstick on my face Put me in a brighter place And it shows Just so you know, my dear This play will close today On a smile that never fades And even if it all should tumble to the ground I know I will have found A bond that could never be staged Wishing that I'd said hello a braver way Not stilted and afraid I'll shake this stage fright And I'll stay here for a while I'm all smiles
