Curtains open up to see,
Spotlight shines on you and me tonight;
Pretending for the crowd below,
We put on a real good show,
But it's a lie.
We can't help but cause a fight,
It's the same old drama every night.
I walk off stage cause this whole play
Is more than I can take.

No I don't want it to be over,
But we need a break before
You break my heart.
Oh,
We can't live this scene forever.
Right now you and me are better,
Better off apart,
But I'll still love you
When the lights come up
For our intermission.

I was one foot out the door,
I couldn't play the part no more
With you.
The chemistry just wasn't there.
I couldn't act like I didn't care
When I do, I do.
We can't help but cause a fight,
It's the same old drama every night.
I walk off stage cause this whole play
Is more than I can take.

No, I don't want it to be over,
But we need a break before
You break my heart.
Oh,
We can't live this scene forever,
Right now you and me are better,
Better off apart,
But I'll still love you
When the lights come up.
Yeah I'll still love you
When the lights come up. (the lights come up)

We're like actors in a play,
Living out our love on stage
And you're just saying the same old lines
To me yeah.
So where we fell off track
But I know love will lead us back.

No I don't want it to be over,
But we need a break before
You break my heart.
And oh,
We can't live this scene forever.
Right now you and me are better,
Better off apart
And I'll still love you
When the lights come up
Yeah I'll still love you
When the lights come up
Baby I'm gonna love you when
The lights come up.
I'm still gonna love you when
The lights come up
Baby I'm gonna love you when
The lights come up,
For our intermission.
