After the Show Lyrics by Skyler Day

Between the I and the You

0

You stood underneath the spotlight
Took that time to declare your love
Oh, I just stood there fallin' for you
Took your every word
Ate it up
But you went and swept me off my feet
Only to get me on my knees
Oh, and I know what happens after the show
Once the curtains close
There's a reason that we all go home
And when the lights come up
The magic dies down
Oh, it's not what you thought
It's just a bunch of mirrors and smoke
After the show
You were sweet
You'd bring me flowers
Just as long as everybody saw
And I turned into a mannequin
No voice, no mind
Your pretty plastic prop
But you played Prince Charming oh so well
Even up close it was hard to tell
Oh, and I know what happens after the show
Once the curtains close
There's a reason that we all go home
And when the lights come up
The magic dies down
Oh, it's not what you thought
It's just a bunch of mirrors and smoke
After the show
After the show
Well it broke my heart
How it all turned out
Darling I am done
Go and take your bow
Oh, and I know what happens after the show
Once the curtains close
There's a reason that we all go home
And when the lights come up
The magic dies down
Oh, it's not what you thought
It's just a bunch of mirrors and smoke
After the show
After the show
