The gilt edge and ragged cloth remain
But calloused hearts and strength are not the same
It's all show
It's just show
It's not over when you see it fall away
So many times you practiced
Practiced what to say
But your contingency smile has melted away
In just a day
In a day
And your mind only wanders
When you decide to stay
Give my love another name
I hope in time it sounds the same
Too much here to see it all
But there were paintings on your wall
Every little lie comes racing
Racing to your mind
Better let it go the way it came
The first time
Let it go
