The curtains close on stage as
the audience goes home
an actor and an actress still remain

but she's still acting

They've got lead role in their high school

drama
she can put on a great show
but he's so blind when they

get off stage
everybody else knows


she's got him wrapped
around her finger
she's pulling him along

he'll never know that
this was not love
he couldn't be more wrong


The curtains close on stage
as she rhymes her last

lines off
she'll twirl her hair
and pretend to care for him

but
she's still
acting


(chorus)
I'd rather

just run away
than listen to the
things you'd say

we'll never run
alone
If we're honestly

honest
She'll pretend
because he

will break or bend over
backwords
he will never figure

out
she's not honestly
honest


He will always dream of her when she
she's with someone else

he never knows just where she goes,yah
or the lies she'll sell
the curtains close his eyes

she'll smile and tell him lies
why cant he see through insincerity
she's still acting


(chorus)


I'd rather just run away
than listen to the things you'd say
we'll never run alone

If we're honestly honest

(2x chorus)
