Encore lyrics

[Verse 1]

Can you hear the sound of the silence?

Hush, hush now

The spotlights fading away

Like a serenade of the quiet, drown it out

The choir leaving the stage

[Pre-Chorus]

Every time you took my breath away

I lost something inside

Every time you threw me a bouquet

All the roses, they died

So I think it's time you walk away

The show is closing tonight

Yeah I think it's time you walk away, way, way

[Chorus]

And don't come back for the encore, the encore

Don't come back like you want more, you want more

Can't you see that the curtain is closing?

You can't cut me open no more

Don't come back for the applause, the applause

Cause I'm already long gone, I'm long gone

Can't you see that the show's all over?

Confetti all over the floor

But don't come back for the encore

Don't come back for the encore

Don't come back for the encore

Don't come back for the encore

[Verse 2]

Can you hear the beat of my heart go

Boom, boom, boom?

But it's not beating for you

Like a symphony in the dark

We lost our tune

Don't you think our time is through?

[Pre-Chorus]

Every time you took my breath away

I lost something inside

Every time you threw me a bouquet

All the roses, they died

And I think it's time you walk away

The show is closing tonight

Yeah, I think it's time you walk away, way, way

[Chorus]

And don't come back for the encore, the encore

Don't come back like you want more, you want more

Can't you see that the curtain is closing?

You can't cut me open no more

Don't come back for the applause, the applause

Cause I'm already long gone, I'm long gone

Can't you see that the show's all over?

Confetti all over the floor

But don't come back for the encore

Don't come back for the encore

Don't come back for the encore

Don't come back for the encore

[Bridge]

Can you hear the sound of the silence?

Hush, hush now

Hush, hush now

[Chorus]

And don't come back for the encore, the encore

Don't come back like you want more, you want more

Can't you see that the curtain is closing?

You can't cut me open no more

Don't come back for the applause, the applause

Cause I'm already long gone, I'm long gone

Can't you see that the show's all over?

Confetti all over the floor

But don't come back for the encore

Don't come back for the encore

Don't come back for the encore

Don't come back for the encore
