I know all the lines to say
The part time I'm expected to play
But in the reflection I am worlds away

As I put my costume on,
Eyelashes one by one
Been doing this so long
I can tie the knot behind my back

And everyone's waiting
But it's getting harder to hear what my heart is saying
'cause everyone's waiting

"To swallow and breathe," she says,
"Remember this ain't for you; it's for them."
And all of those painful lessons you've had to learn
You're gonna use them now or never

'cause everyones waiting
But it's getting harder to hear what my heart keeps saying
Turn it off, I wanna turn it off

When everyone's waiting,
It makes it harder to hear what my heart keeps saying
Turn it off, I wanna turn it off but everyone's waiting

I hear that answers appear when you just stand still
But make it all after you make it all stop
when everyone's waiting

Everyone's waiting
