How short the line from open heart to empty pocket
But now it’s over, isn’t it over, is it really over, is it?
I never stopped to think, “oh we could be wrong for each other”
Before I got the chance to blink, she got to my friends and my mother
But now it’s over, isn’t it over, is it really over, is it?

Lights down, the curtain rises
Like we’ve done a thousand times, it’s over
No more goin’ through the motions

How short the line from open heart to empty pocket
And like a master of her craft,
She struck before I got the chance to lock it
But now it’s over, isn’t it over, is it really over, is it?
She really caught me sleepin’
She slipped over and through my defenses
When I was passin’ out,
She caught me noddin’ like a pez dispenser
But now it’s over, isn’t it over, is it really over, is it?

Lights down, the curtain rises
Like we’ve done a thousand times, it’s over
No more goin’ through the motions
I should know, I should know better, but
She played her part to the letter, it’s over
No more goin’ through the motions

Can we just run the scene where we apologize?
She can’t ever seem to remember the lines

Lights down, the curtain rises
Like we’ve done a thousand times, it’s over
No more goin’ through the motions
I should know, I should know better, but
She played her part to the letter, it’s over
No more goin’ through the motions
