I thought the time was past when I could find beauty in the words

G          G/F#               C9        G G/F#               C9
I set the stage and the scenery, rehearsing every word

And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else

With my confidence on fire                                       I set to
fixing up my role
                                      (With my confidence on fire)

                  G/F#                  C9
My separation of desires                                      just led me
deeper down the hole
                                    (Oh, separation of desires)

Hoping to God I was just                                  a temporary
absentee
