[Intro]
(Yeah.)
(Curtain closed.)
[Verse 1]
House still loud but I’m alone.
Phones keep buzzing, I don’t respond.
Same old highs, they don’t last.
Fame move quick but the nights move slow.
I said I changed, that’s half true.
Still do wrong when I feel used.
I know love ain’t meant to hurt.
But pain the only thing that works.
[Pre-Chorus]
When the lights shut down on me.
Who am I when no one sees.
All these cheers don’t mean a thing.
If I don’t like the man in me.
[Chorus]
After the applause, I crash.
After the love, I ask.
Was it real or just my mask.
When the room go dark that fast.
[Verse 2]
I treat peace like it’s optional.
Treat red flags like they fashionable.
Say I’m busy, that’s convenient.
Truth is healing make me nervous.
I don’t chase, I attract pain.
Different face but the same game.
Every promise got a shelf life.
Every kiss come with a price.
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t pray like I should now.
Still talk to God when I’m down.
If forgiveness come around.
Hope it find me how I am.
[Chorus]
After the applause, I fall.
After the crowd, no calls.
If I strip away it all.
Would you love me without the walls.
[Bridge]
No replay, no encore.
This the part they don’t record.
No autotune on my flaws.
Just me and the truth I avoid.
[Outro]
If this fame ever fade out.
If my name don’t ring loud.
Hope I learn how to be proud.
After the applause dies down.
