lyrics

LYRICS
---------
come on darling, don't act like you know something i don't
and stop pretending that you haven't been looking for an easy out
coz what's alarming's there was no harm in
any and all of my actions but like a bad actress
you're over-dramatic and arguing nonsense
but none of this matters it's over

coz this is the breakup show
come on, come on darling please

sugar don't play the victim, coz bitterness doesn't wear that well on you
felt like an instant, from the start of 1 to the closing of act 2
we'll both just wait for the curtain to fall
there'll be no encore, but the twist is you'll miss me

coz this is the breakup show
come on, come on darling please

coz this is the breakup show
come on, come on darling please

the script is trite, you've learnt your lines
it's time for the performance of your life
