They step in through their new front door
But the air tastes stale like it did before
All they want is to start again
So they shut their eyes and they count to ten
Forced smiles in picture frames
Reminiscent of hope for better days
White walls have never looked so dark
As they sing them to sleep before they break their hearts
They both take their bow
But there's no standing ovation, just kids on a couch
Who are finding out
That they're just another family watching the curtains close
Yesteryears in a coat of blue
Hearts hollow like vows once spoken true
Bottled anger, how it stains a scene
Being torn in two never comes out clean
They're screaming fiction as the fabric tears
Oblivious to the desperate cries upstairs
They just wish that they could know
Where does all the love that once was go?
They both take their bow
But there's no standing ovation, just kids on a couch
Who are finding out
That they're just another family watching the curtains close
