The Act We Act

Sugar

I'm watching you walk

As you walk that distant way

Take that thing away from me

Take away most everything

I couldn't say I'd blame you

You should never look in back

You wouldn't be to blame

If you couldn't take it back



Hours slipping by as you watch

The worlds collide

Now you're nothing more

Than another passerby

The dark it turns to light

In a distant flash of night

Rolling with the tide I confide

The act we wear it thin again



If affection holds you back

Then what is left to hold

If I could find the answer to that

Question then I'd know

The thoughts that

Clutter up your mind

And leave me feeling drained

And walking pacing up the walls

Across the floor again



All the things I haven't seen

Once the final curtain has been raised

The act we act is wearing thin

The act we act we under my skin

The words the words we said goodbye

The words left choking in my mind

The act we act is wearing thin

I think we wear it out again



Another big explosion

Leaving you hoping

That something that once

Held you down

Could leave you feeling

On the ground



The confusion that persists

Decisions that you guessed

The one to stay and watch this

The one you might have missed



All the things I haven't seen

Once the final curtain has been raised

The act we act is wearing thin

The act we act we under my skin

The words the words we said goodbye

The words left choking in my mind

The act we act is wearing thin

I think we wear it out again

The act we act we under my skin

The act we act we under my



Forming a conclusion

And you're left standing
