As you walk that distant way
Take that thing away from me
Take away most everything
I couldn't say I'd blame you
You should never look in back
If you couldn't take it back
Hours slipping by as you watch

Rolling with the tide I confide
The act we wear it thin again
If affection holds you back

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
The act we act we under my skin
The act we act we under my
