lyrics

I can't believe I got to do this with you
The days we had, and all the nights, too
And all the while we knew, It wasn't like we had no clue
We knew what was comin' 'round the bend
The show must go on, and then the show must end
It won't amount to tragedy
I recommend it actually
Know that nothing's permanent, squeeze everything you can from it
Embrace it as a real godsend
The show must go on, and then the show must end
The last song has to be your best
The closer's gotta beat the rest
You'll close your eyes as you play the last song
You'll open your eyes to find everybody gone
I hope that when it's over we'll be friends
The show must go on, but then the show must end
ah…
It was all a blur, a lost weekend
You won't see it coming, but the show will end
