Who writes these lines for me?
Didn't want to say these words no more
Why do I play a Bonsai tree
Acting out a vision of your mythical me
If you're wanting a yes, but I give you no
I mess up my lines and ruin the show
Would that be a tragedy?
Put me on a stage
And I will play the role that you want
It's a masquerade
You can have your fantasy
Put me on a stage
I'll play the role you know is wrong
Keep me in my place
You're hiding from reality
The stage is too small for me
I got no way to move around
You give me no room to disagree
You make me sing in the same old key
If I improvise and step out of line
Would you drop the curtain and leave me behind?
Would you leave me behind?
Put me on a stage
And I will play the role that you want
It's a masquerade
You can have your fantasy
Put me on a stage
I'll play the role you know is wrong
Keep me in my place
You're hiding from reality
If you're wanting a yes, but I give you no
I mess up my lines and ruin the show
Would that be a tragedy?
Put me on a stage
And I will play the role that you want
It's a masquerade
You can have your fantasy
Put me on a stage
I'll play the role you know is wrong
Keep me in my place
You're hiding from reality
