[Verse]
Spotlight simmers on the floor
And falls on the ingénue, in powder blue
And I watch her from the wings
She parodies the spring and wilts away
I’m dulled, I’m dancing in the cold
Like cattails in the wind, I bend, but I don’t fold
I’m feeling old and phantom-limbed and gray

[Chorus]
But it’s love, held with dirty hands
The lion and the lamb
Everything’s a sacrifice
Whether you’re smiling like a winner
Or crying like a clown, mmm

[Bridge]
So, I’m leaving you with this
Something you can miss
A tear before the final bow
Is it everything you wanted
With roses on the ground? (Oh)

[Chorus]
‘Cause it’s love, hеld with lonely hands
Kicked out of the band
Evеrything’s a sacrifice
Whether you’re crying like a winner
Or clapping in the stands
