Curtains Close Lyrics - Rose Cora Perry

V1: It's easy to be so young and naïve 

It's easy to see all things as you want to see 

It's easy to need what you want to be 

So damn easy 

Prechorus: But when that mindset starts to shatter 

Everything you thought becomes so scattered 

You'll find yourself at odds with those you love and trust 

You'll find yourself at odds with your own self 

Chorus: Tell me, what am I fighting for? 

When all the things of which I was sure 

Are nothing more than dreams 

I tell ya it's heartbreaking 

Sweet innocence was pure 

I wish that there was a cure 

For growing up, and growing old 

And learning truths...I wish I was never told 

V2: It's easy to love before they break your heart 

It's easy to think there's a plan from the start 

It's easy to live your life without a care 

Too damn easy 

Prechorus: And when that mindset starts to unwind 

You want nothing more than just to crawl inside 

Erase the knowledge that led to your own self-destruct 

Erase the memory of childhood things 

Outro: Tell me why don't you see when you look at me? 

Tell me why don't you feel when you're touching me? 

You say that you hear, but are you listening? 

You say that you care, but you're still giving in 

Tell me why don't you taste when you're experiencing? 

Tell me why don't you breathe if you are living? 

You say that you're real, but all the symptoms show 

The lights are out, your story ends when the curtains close
