I know all the lines to say / the part 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 / cos everyone’s waiting / Just
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 gotta use them now or
never / Cos everyone’s waiting / but it’s getting harder to hear / what my heart
keeps saying / Turn it off, I wanna turn it all off / When everyone’s waiting / it
makes it harder to hear what my heart keeps saying / Turn it off, I wanna turn it
all off / but everyone’s waiting / I hear that answers appear when you just stand
still / but make it all, how do you make it all stop / when everyone’s waiting?
