This Stage

[Verse 1]
I could paint you a picture
Fold it up and take it home with you
Cry a little on the page
Let the paint run
Let the sad sit still
A moment
A moment's all it takes
To be woken
Achingly awake
Everything's a state of mind
If you saw the state of my mind
The paint would run on every page

[Chorus]
I feel the hurt
I feel the aching
I'm on this stage and they're all applauding
When I was just faking
I feel the sad
I feel the breaking
The stage that I'm on is showing its cracks
And now it's just caving

[Verse 2]
Every note I wrote in this book
Every passing look is rude to stare
I won't let you gеt to know me better
Whеn everything is better, I'll let you know

[Chorus]
I feel the hurt
I feel the aching
I'm on this stage and they're all applauding
When I was just faking
I feel the sad
I feel the breaking
The stage that I'm on is showing its cracks
And now it's just caving
