lyrics

So I'll enter stage left
Just to leave stage right
all my friends and family
Came to see me fail tonight

You said you would be different
You were in the worst kind of way
Change isn't as bad as you made it out to be
Just look at what it what done to me

My situation is growing dire
My voice is trapped inside the choir.
Are my dreams just goals that I've acquired
or is it some lust for failure?

I see you up on stage
As the hero you portray
At times like this I wish that I stayed
In my bed today

Being alone isn't that bad
If I ignore the pain it goes away
The acknowledgment of it is what kills you
And then you'll wither and decay

But that's just the way things were meant to be
Pain is something invisible that needs to be seen
I think I saw it in my dreams
It was behind my eyes it was all I could see

And as you see me up on stage
As the villain that you made me out to be
All the people who used to revere me
Now won't even look at me

You were right, you were different
I ran out of things to say
You took everything away from me
You stole my breath, you took it away.
So I'll enter stage left
Just to leave stage right
And all my friends and family
Came to see me fail tonight
