The Show Lyrics by Niall Horan

[Verse 1]
Life is like a board game some of the time
Mistakes and heartbreaks are no crime
But there's a light creepin' through under broken skies
Got plans? Better hurry, 'cause time flies

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold tight, get ready for the ride

[Chorus]
If everythin' was easy, nothin' ever broke
If everythin' was simple, how would we know?
How to fix your tears, how to fake a show
How to paint a smile, yeah, how would we know?
How good we have it, though? Mmm

[Verse 2]
Lifе is like a dance floor some of thе time
(Life is like a dance floor some of the time, mm)
Dancin' with the stars, oh, every night
And gravity comes and wraps her arms around you again
It's all fun and games until the party ends

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold tight, get ready for the ride

[Chorus]
If everythin' was easy, nothin' ever broke
If everythin' was simple, how would we know?
How to fix your tears, how to fake a show
How to paint a smile, yeah, how would we know?
How good we have it, though?

[Bridge]
Lookin' at the sun our whole lives
We're blinded by the (Lights)
Lookin' at the sun our whole lives
We're blinded by the lights, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
We're still not ready for the ride

[Chorus]
If everythin' was easy, nothin' ever broke
If everythin' was simple, how would we know?
How to fix your tears, how to fake a show
How to paint a smile, yeah, how would we know?
Oh, if everythin' was easy, nothin' ever broke
If everythin' was simple, how would we know?
How to fix your tears, how to fake a show
How to paint a smile, yeah, how would we know?
How good we have it, though?

[Outro]
How good we have it, no?
So, hold tight, get ready for the ride
