did you think i didn't see you?
you were lit up in the dark
at least i had the decency
to walk away and leave you
standing there in the spotlight
all eyes were on you
and when the curtain fell
it revealed your true identity
and i think somehow in my mind
if shit kept getting twisted
and rumors kept getting spread
would i even regret it?
would i even care what
the consequences were?
a bittersweet sadness overcomes me
that you're the reason i had to leave
set the fireworks off in the middle of the night
fireballs blasting into the sky
enumerated blasts of color one by one
and i could see i was coming undone
you pulled the string hanging off my shirt
and pulled and pulled until there was nothing left
oh lord, i'm such a mess
and when the curtain fell
and revealed your true identity
and i think somehow in my mind
if shit kept getting twisted
and rumors kept getting spread
would i even regret it?
would i even care what
the consequences were?
a bittersweet sadness overcomes me
that you're the reason i had to leave
~instrumental interlude~
and when the curtain fell
and revealed your true identity
and i think somehow in my mind
if shit kept getting twisted
and rumors kept getting spread
would i even regret it?
would i even care what
the consequences were?
a bittersweet sadness overcomes me
that you're the reason i had to leave
take me back to those summer nights
staying up til dawn
i didn't even have to worry
no
