[Intro] [fingerstyle acoustic guitar, light percussion] [Verse 1] [male tenor vocals] They say love is a stage So we learn our marks You bring the sharp words I keep the dark House lights dim, the room goes still We miss our cues Trying to hold on and not lose you [Chorus] [full band enters, bass and drums] Drama queens and drama kings We pull the strings, we clip the wings Every word lands like it means something [vocal harmonies enter] Drama queens and drama kings You wear your pride like it fits too tight I say one thing, you hear a fight And we keep talking past the fear Like nobody wants to be the one to steer But who's the villain, who's the fool When two good people keep breaking the rules [Chorus] Drama queens and drama kings We pull the strings, we clip the wings Every word lands like it means something Drama queens and drama kings [Bridge] [electric guitar swells, falsetto ad-libs] The spotlight's harsh, the floor feels bare We keep our distance like we don't care Hard to hear truth over all that noise Hard to be honest with shaking voices Are we acting, or just too scared To say out loud what we've both been carrying there [Outro] [acoustic guitar solo, drums fade out] (Oh-oh-oh) [Instrumental fade out]
