The Final Curtain

Why do people build our hopes up
and then dash them to the ground
why let us believe in something
that is never meant to be
can't they see the pain
they are causing you and me

so hard to carry on now
the music has stopped playing
it's time to close the show
no more encores here for me now
just empty seats alone
refelctions of my soul
why go on

terrible prices to pay
for what we thought was real
more pain and destruction
just falling down on me
I want to end this journey now
the burden is too great
I have no one to help
me carry it down the path
