Song lyrics

My life is a musical,
I know how to put on a pretty pathetic show,
I hide backstage, keep the curtains closed,
Cause I'm scared, I'm scared

I'm getting pretty good at
feeding them the lines they like,
But I don't recognize the girl I face each night,
I can compromise till I'm convinced it's right

What happened to the girl who could overlook the world?
She never gave a second to what the other people thought,
What happened to the dream of rejecting the routine?
Cause they never worked for me

[Chorus]
I'm gonna burn this theater down
And pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd,
I wanna live like I lost the script
And scream every line like "this is it!"

They say all the world's a stage,
Rewriting your itentity is all the rage,
Well next act please, I'd like a change,
I don't really like pretending this way

What happened to the girl who could overlook the world?
She never gave a second to what the other people thought,
What happened to the dream of rejecting the routine?
Cause they never worked for me

[Chorus x2]
I'm gonna burn this theater down
And pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd,
I wanna live like I lost the script
And scream every line like "this is it!"

And the sad thing is we're all in on the action,
We're all holding our breath, waiting for a reaction,
You play your part, I'll be playing with matches
And if you'd like a show, you can follow the ashes

[Chorus]
I'm gonna burn this theater down
And pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd,
I wanna live like I lost the script
And scream every line like "this is it!"

[Chorus]
I'm gonna burn this theater down
And pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd,
I wanna live like I lost the script
And scream every line like...

"This is it!"
