One More Time with Feeling

Your stitches are all out, but your scars are healing wrong
 And the helium balloon inside your room has come undone
 And it's pushing up at the ceiling and the flickering lights it cannot get beyond
 ♪
 Oh, everyone takes turns, now it's yours to play the part
 And they're sitting all around you holding copies of your chart
 And the misery inside their eyes is synchronized reflecting into yours
 ♪
 Hold on
 One more time with feeling
 Try it again
 Breathing's just a rhythm
 Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right
 This is why we fight
 ♪
 You thought by now you'd be so much better than you are
 You thought by now they'd see that you had come so far
 And the pride inside their eyes would synchronize into a love you'll never know
 So much more than you can show
 Hold on
 One more time with feeling
 Try it again
 Breathing's just a rhythm
 Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right
 This is why we fight
 This is why we fight
