Dance around how I feel
The crowd watches on

Even if I feel the pain
The show must go on

Like a crack in the wall
With a band aid on top
Yeah it hurts just to smile
But it’s pretty enough to fool

Dance around how you feel
The crowd watches on

Why does it matter how I am perceived
When everyone’s lying to me?

Lost the words in the space
‘Tween my mouth and my brain

As I exit the stage?
I don't care for applause.
I won’t bow for your grace

Tell me why do we lie?
Everybody’s a little broken, just a little broken 
I. oh I do believe
In a world that’s sugarcoated 
My fellow showman you're broken like me
You’re broken like me 
You're broken like me
Ahhhhhh
 
(Miss a couple of steps
Feel the mask slip away 
Lost the words in the space
‘Tween my mouth and my brain

How do you like me now 
As I exit the stage?
I don't care for applause 
I won’t bow for your grace.)

Why do we lie? 
Why do we lie?
My fellow showman you’re broken like me
You’re broken like
