Starring Role
check and mate
the game we play
ends up in the same way
i call your bluff
but it wasn't enough
so you let me die in the dust
don't lead me on
why keep score when you've already won?
take off your mask
just relax, i forfeit the match
the story's over, the show is done
the curtain fell, reality has begun
give up the role
stop pretending to my face
the whole damn time i didn't believe you anyway
collect your flowers and bask in the glow
this is the very last time that you will be my
starring role
run your lines
so you can lie every time
and pretend like my heart isn't on the line
i'll pay you a million
just so you will give in
and play the character i've been wishing for
don't lead me on
why keep going when you're already gone?
take off the mask
give it up, give me myself back
the story's over, the show is done
the curtain fell, reality has begun
give up the role
stop pretending to my face
the whole damn time i didn't believe you anyway
collect your flowers and bask in the glow
this is the very last time that you will be my
starring role
you can pretend for an audience
but never when it's for love or war
you make believe that i chose to leave
and you didn't push me out the door
i'll show you how much i've improved
and that i'm better on my own
but i'll remember
our story we told
our show that was bold
the crowd that stood
as the plot unfolds
i wore the costume
you wore the mask
the whole damn time you stabbed me in my back
so i'll collect my flowers
bask in the glow
finally i can see that i am starring role
the starring role
the game we play
ends up in the same way
i call your bluff
but it wasn't enough
so you let me die in the dust
don't lead me on
why keep score when you've already won?
take off your mask
just relax, i forfeit the match
the story's over, the show is done
the curtain fell, reality has begun
give up the role
stop pretending to my face
the whole damn time i didn't believe you anyway
collect your flowers and bask in the glow
this is the very last time that you will be my
starring role
run your lines
so you can lie every time
and pretend like my heart isn't on the line
i'll pay you a million
just so you will give in
and play the character i've been wishing for
