I've grown accustomed to suffering
Through the bad and the worse
I act through it all
I rehearse and rehearse
Till when it comes day for the public
I'll smile and laugh
People will cheer
And give praise on my behalf
The show will be perfect
They can't see through a thing I do
But then there's the twist
The part that's new
Where instead of the bowing
The curtsey at the end of the show
I'll show them my true self
And the pain I undergo
