She's counting all her tear drops
'Cos she's done with counting sheep,
There's one thing that's for certain,
She'll never beat her fears
She's acting like an angel
When she acts out in her mind,
But come the final curtain she will
Be left behind and the real world is never kind,
Oh

Promise you'll try your best,
If the stage is falling just act out louder,
Audition yourself to sleep
And the pieces will slowly fall into place

She's acting like an angel
When she acts out in her mind,
But come the final she will be left behind
And the real world is never kind

If you wait at the side
You'll find you never succeed,
Promise you'll go with what you want and believe,
If you wait at the side you'll find you never succeed,
Well promise me this you'll find a way to believe

Promise you'll try your best,
If the stage is falling just act out louder,
Audition yourself to sleep
And the pieces will slowly fall into place
