lyrics

Don’t know how to talk to you now.
I wish I’d never learned his name—
Details drive a man insane.

It’ll all have to stop somehow.
Put these thoughts back on the shelf
Or lead them to an early grave;
It’s all the same.

I don’t know how I fooled myself again.
I’m nothing special, nothing but a friend.
There’s something else I would rather be
But this ain’t the love story I hoped it’d be.
You’re writing it with someone else playing lead—
It’s not me.
No, it’s not me.

Curtain call, the actors prepare.
I’m sitting in the cheap seats.
You don’t notice I’m there
Or don’t care.

Maybe if I rush the stage
I could die in the corner, early on in Act 1,
Unseen by anyone.

Then nothing would come undone;
unfazed—the plot would keep marching on.
Stage hands would sweep me off the floor,
Setting Scene Four.

‘Cause jesters get a hook.
He will get to hold you tight.
The Lovers exit stage right,
I stay alone at night.

I don’t know how I fooled myself again.
I’m nothing special, nothing but a friend.
There’s something else I would rather be
But this ain’t the love story I hoped it’d be.
You’re writing it with someone else playing lead—
It’s not me.
No, it’s not me.
