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


But 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


And now you?re nothing more

Than another passerby





The dark it turns to light

In a distant flash of night


I'm rolling with the tide, I confide


The act we wear it thin again




If affection holds you back


Oh, 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





And 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, now



The act, we act we under my skin, now


The act, we act we under my

Forming a conclusion

And you?re left standing
