"The Second Act" lyrics

"The Second Act"

She was the greatest of them all
So please don't save me anymore
All aboard, she only faced the music
Leaving us to face the facts
There are no second acts

You're not thinking straight tonight
I need to sleep a year or two
Let go, it's another lesson learned
Spare me the good old song
I'm too tired to tag along

You never face the facts (But it's time to)
There are no second acts

China dolls, party girls, going through the motions
It's another world, I thought everybody knew

She was the greatest of them all
So please don't save me anymore
All aboard, she only faced the music
Leaving us to face the facts
There are no second acts

You never face the facts (But it's time to)
I think it's time to face the facts

China dolls, party girls, going through the motions
It's another world, I thought everybody knew (And I know you [?])

You never face the facts (But it's time to)
There are no second acts (But it's time to)
You never face the facts (But it's time to)
You never face the facts (But it's time to)
You never face the facts (But it's time to)
