I've seen this story before
Let's leave before the curtain call
I don't want to see that knife
Go into the hero's side

I try to leave, I shed a tear
But the second act climax keeps me here
Oh, God, what a scene
A tragedy

This old show, it must go on
So break a leg, you debutant
These bright lights, they bring me back
Orchestrating shattered glass

Nobody wins, don't take a bow
'Cause the makeup and playbill are faded now
Oh, God, what a scene
A tragedy

Shut up, I would like to say something (shut up)
To everyone who breaks a heart
Cheats a heart, or even beats a heart
May you, may you go to hell, but first (but first)
I would like to thank you for the, umm, inspiration
And furthermore, the trauma, I mean, the drama
