My Best Performance Yet

I check my reflection in the hallway glass

Straighten my collar, let the shaking pass

I practice the hello in the casual, I'm fine

Making sure the cracks didn't show in the line

You walked in the room with that look in your eye

And I didn't let out a single soft sigh

The audience is empty, just us in the hall

But I've got my back up against the wall

The lights are all down, but I'm hitting my cues

Hiding the fact that I'm dying to lose

It's my best performance, the road of a lifetime

Pretending I'm happy, pretending I'm sublime

I'm smiling at you while my world turns to grey

Wishing you'd notice, I'm begging you to stay

But I play it so cool, and I play it so true

That you actually believe I'm over you

Yeah, it's a masterpiece of regret

My best performance yet

You told me you're happy, you're finally whole

And I didn't let the fire swallow my soul

I growled my head at the right time and place

With a mask of indifference glued to my face

I even suggested we grab a drink soon

Under the weight of a cold heartless moon

But if you looked closer, you'd see that I'm shaking

Behind me I'm okay, my spirit is breaking

The makeup is thick, but the tears are right there

Just underneath me, I don't really care

I'm waiting for cut, so I can fall to the floor

And stop being the one who doesn't love you anymore

It's my best performance, the road of a lifetime

Pretending I'm happy, pretending I'm sublime

I'm smiling at you while my world turns to grey

Wishing you'd notice, I'm begging you to stay

But I play it so cool, and I play it so true

That you actually believe I'm over you

Yeah, it's a masterpiece of regret

My best performance yet

You walked away smiling, thinking I'm strong

Thinking I finally moved right along

But as soon as the door clicked, the lights went to black

And I let every piece of me finally crack

You're over to me, for the light you couldn't see

Yeah, it was my best performance

And now I'm just empty

And now I'm just empty

And now I'm just empty
