when the last curtain falls
Even though I still sting from the words that you threw at me There's no pleasure at all from watching you fall to your knees 'Cause the tables have turned And I'm finally learning to live and forgive and let go There's no sweet revenge at loves angry end and we all need to know.  When the last curtain falls with a final goodbye And the bitter cold darkness of night flood the days of our live With the silence so loud we can't feel it all There's no reason or cause to cheer or applaud When the last curtain falls.  The irony is that you're wearing the look I once wore And in truth I've longed for this moment to settle the score But it's not all that clear now that I'm hearin' you echo The thoughts of my soul, the justice of time It's not really mine and I want you to know.  When the last curtain falls with a final goodbye And the bitter cold darkness of night flood the days of our lives With the silence so loud we can feel it all There's no reason or cause to cheer or applaud When the last curtain falls.  There's no reason or cause to cheer or applaud When the last curtain falls.
