How the Curtain Closes

I just wanna say
I got your text yesterday
And all the voices in my head
Are telling me to stay away
But when you're gone
It's all gone
And I know I have no chance of surviving
All alone

Well, I think we count as strangers
Give me time and give me space
It's clear that you'd only save yourself
And leave me 'til it's too late

Just a pale ghost standing where I used to be
Another dead end a hundred miles away from me
I'm out of my body, sailing through time
I feel like a curse when I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my body, stealing time
You put your life in the spotlight

Now the curtain's closed
And I know I need to move on
Because the backstage is too damn toxic
For me to get along
I wish that I had known it
From the start
That your role in the friendship
Would be the leading part

So don't put yourself on that pedestal
It can't take your own weight
It's clear that you'd only save yourself
And leave me 'til it's too late

Just a pale ghost standing where I used to be
Another dead end a hundred miles away from me
I'm out of my body, sailing through time
I feel like a curse when I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my body, stealing time
You put your life in the spotlight

Ooh, it was never meant to be like this
Close the book and you lost your page
Make up the next part, and take the stage
They say every story has a happy ending
Just think about the message you're sending

Just a pale ghost standing where I used to be
Another dead end a hundred miles away from me
I'm out of my body, sailing through time
I feel like a curse when I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my body, stealing time
You put your life in the spotlight

I guess this is how the curtain closes now
