Understudy

Did you catch the act? Was my greatest yet
The reviews were electrifying
And the torch it shone bright, like the final white light at the end

What could have been, what should have been
What was expected from me
But you learn quick, that life gets as sick as a dog

What did I expect? The butterfly effect
That made, shaped me, turned out for the best
What really did I lose?
And I have nothing left to prove, but to you
It was always you

It's a long time waiting in the wings
Your wildest dreams are nothing without
Seeing all the little things
Mr Nearly becomes the uncrowned king
It's better to be the understudy
And I'm gonna be the understudy

We wore truth, sometimes wore it thin
With no caveat invested
Lets feign surprise and assume that we knew all along

Everything that's said, the butterfly effect
That made, shaped me, turned out for the best
What really did I lose
And I have nothing left to prove, but to you
It was always you

It's a long time waiting in the wings
All your dreams are nothing without
Seeing all the little things
Mr Nearly becomes the uncrowned king
It's better to be the understudy
And I'm gonna be the understudy

And I'm right here with a thousand words to say
And I don't mind and would they listen anyway

The spotlight
And it's all mine
And I have all night
