Sad Charade Lyrics

You hope the bar lights

Will help to hide your age

You've been doing it for years

Passing it off as a phase

Another lost night

Spills into a hazy day

The sun's still hiding

And you feel like doing the same

Don't you ever get sick

Of trying to sell the sad charade

'Cause nobody's buying

That you wanted it this way

You feign some deep tastes

Like a hunger you can't assuage

But you're just another sucker

For whatever's the latest rage

You spin the same tales

About things you only wish you did

Ah, you've never been a rebel

So who are you trying to kid

Don't you ever get sick

Of trying to sell the sad charade

'Cause nobody's buying

That you wanted it this way

All the wounds you can't quite cover

All the kisses from nameless lovers

Hover in your head when you sleep

Another lost night

Spills into a hazy day

The sun's still hiding

And you feel like doing the same

Don't you ever get sick

Of trying to sell the sad charade

'Cause nobody's buying

That you wanted it this way
