Role of a Lifetime

Lyrics

[Jason] The hardest part is through You did what you had to do Put it all behind you, don't ask why Why you crossed that line You knew what you'd find Trying to push away the part of you that knew you'd say Goodbye Role of a lifetime Go back to the game you play The sentence that you struggle to erase Thoughts battle words over deeds A war with such casualities Fighting out behind a smiling face God, I need your guidance Tell me what it means To live a life where nothing's as it seems Spending days inside with fear Spending nights in lonely prayer Hoping that one day when you wake Those feelings won't be there I'm so confused because I feel complete with him When we're alone it all somehow makes sense You live by "let it go" You do what you know Remember the word "forget" And try to bury something so intense You've learned to play the straight man Your lines, by now, routine Never really saying what you mean Yet the scene can seem all wrong Have I known that all along? The girl who'd make me happy Isn't that what I should want? But Peter, what role do you play? Are you a savior or a fate? Are you here to damn me Or to help me navigate this maze Where confusion is a crime So you fill your life with sound And if you dance like hell You hope you'll never touch the ground What happens when the music stops? In this silence would I break And burn the bridge I cross Or learn just how much I can take So I drive myself insane Spinning circles in my soul As I dance around and play pretend And once again Reprise my role
