๐ Lyrics
He makes you nervous, uncertain, unsteady
Suddenly he's all you can think about
And if I were just a little more daring
I'd say it's not just you
I remember our beginnings, three stupid kids
Thought we were so invincible
'Til I became invisible
Like I stopped to tie my shoelaces
And looked up too late
Was it too naive of me
To believe that you'd wait
Then he smiles at you all slow
And I see the credits roll
I guess this is just how it goes
Should've known that it's just not my show
Forget a green screen sunset
All I've got left is bittersweet regret
This is just how the story goes
Might as well have handed me a script and said I'd never be the one he chose
All's well that ends well I suppose
I make the perfect second lead
But god, for once I wish it were me
Your happy ending looks like my world ending
Painfully delicate
Hanging on by just a thread
I've watched long enough that it's no cruel surprise
I just fooled myself thinking that I'd have more time
When he smiles at you all slow
If only I didn't have to know
I guess this is just how it goes
Should've known that it's just not my show
Forget a green screen sunset
All I've got left is bittersweet regret
This is just how the story goes
Might as well have handed me a script and said I'd never be the one he chose
All's well that ends well I suppose
And I wonder why
The price of my silence is so high
Maybe it's worth it if the only heart breaking is mine
I make the perfect second lead
But god, for once I wish it were me
Suddenly he's all you can think about
And if I were just a little more daring
I'd say it's not just you
I remember our beginnings, three stupid kids
Thought we were so invincible
'Til I became invisible
Like I stopped to tie my shoelaces
And looked up too late
Was it too naive of me
To believe that you'd wait
Then he smiles at you all slow
And I see the credits roll
I guess this is just how it goes
Should've known that it's just not my show
Forget a green screen sunset
All I've got left is bittersweet regret
This is just how the story goes
Might as well have handed me a script and said I'd never be the one he chose
All's well that ends well I suppose
I make the perfect second lead
But god, for once I wish it were me
Your happy ending looks like my world ending
Painfully delicate
Hanging on by just a thread
I've watched long enough that it's no cruel surprise
I just fooled myself thinking that I'd have more time
When he smiles at you all slow
If only I didn't have to know
I guess this is just how it goes
Should've known that it's just not my show
Forget a green screen sunset
All I've got left is bittersweet regret
This is just how the story goes
Might as well have handed me a script and said I'd never be the one he chose
All's well that ends well I suppose
And I wonder why
The price of my silence is so high
Maybe it's worth it if the only heart breaking is mine
I make the perfect second lead
But god, for once I wish it were me
