LYRIC FOR SALE

By Blackwood

[intro]
[verse]
The stage was ours from the moment we met.
Two strangers stepping under the lights

[verses]
The first act opened with our nervous laughter.
Learning where to stand.
Stumbling through our lines…
but somehow you made it right

[pre-chorus]
We loved every standing ovation.
Believing our story would never end.

[chorus]
Sometimes you reach the last act.
It’s nobody’s fault
That's just how stories go
The curtain falls, the house lights rise
It's time to take the final bow
I wish we could stay forever in act two
But every play has an ending,
And I'm glad I played it with you.

[verse]
Our second act was the part I'd play a thousand times.
it was coffee in the morning.
And Walking Side by side.
Finishing each other’s lines.

[pre-chorus]
We loved every standing ovation.
Believing our story would never end.

[chorus]
Sometimes you reach the last act.
It’s nobody’s fault
That's just how stories go
The curtain falls, the house lights rise
It's time to take the final bow
I wish we could stay forever in act two
But every play has an ending,
And I'm glad I played it with you.

[verse]
We’ve reached the final act.
We been playing our scenes apart.
We read between the lines,
And knew it was coming…
Not every story will last.

[bridge]
The ovations have faded
Critics had their say.
The theaters empty now.
Love isn’t how long we last
It’s how well we play our roles.

[chorus (final)]
Sometimes things just end,
And it’s nobody’s fault.
That's just how stories go.
The curtain falls, the house lights rise
It's time to take the final bow
I wish we could stay forever in act two
But every play must find its ending
And I'm glad I played ours with you.
