[Title Removed]

Verse

You showed up at my doorstep,

With a bouquet of white rose

In a tailored suit,

Looking like a dream in vintage clothes

You kissed my hand,

And told me I was all you’re thinking of

The exact scenario,

I always wrote about in love

But as you leaned in closer,

Under the porch light's glow,

I suddenly felt the overwhelming urge,

To let you go

Chorus

Cause I only know how to play,

The tragic leading lady

I only know the longing,

And the pacing in the dark

If you actually love me,

The storyline gets hazy

I don't know my lines,

When I'm the one who wins your heart

I am a master of the yearning,

A genius of the chase

But standing in a happy ending,

I am out of place

Verse

I am used to crying softly,

Over records in my room

And romanticizing,

All my little avenues of gloom

When you text me good morning,

And you ask about my day,

It terrifies me how I have,

No clever games to play

There is no grand crescendo,

No villain and no rain

Just a steady, quiet love,

That is driving me insane

Chorus

Cause I only know how to play,

The tragic leading lady

I only know the longing,

And the pacing in the dark

If you actually love me,

The storyline gets hazy

I don't know my lines,

When I'm the one who wins your heart

I am a master of the yearning,

A genius of the chase

But standing in a happy ending,

I am out of place

Bridge

Take back the flowers,

Tell me that you're leaving town

Give me a reason,

To wear my sorrow like a crown

I hate that I am terrified,

Of finally being caught

I wanted you so badly,

But I am scared of what I got

The script is rewriting itself,

The director walked away

And I have no idea,

What a happy girl would say

Instrumental

Outro

So bear with me, my darling,

While I learn a different song

I have been singing in a minor key,

For much too long

Do not let go of my hand,

Even if I try to run

I will learn to stand the sunlight,

I will learn to stand the sun

Mmm...
