He makes you nervous, uncertain, unsteady

Suddenly he's all you can think about

And if I were just a little more daring

I'd say it's not just you

I remember our beginnings, three stupid kids

Thought we were so invincible

'Til I became invisible

Like I stopped to tie my shoelaces

And looked up too late

Was it too naive of me

To believe that you'd wait

Then he smiles at you all slow

And I see the credits roll

I guess this is just how it goes

Should've known that it's just not my show

Forget a green screen sunset

All I've got left is bittersweet regret

This is just how the story goes

Might as well have handed me a script and said I'd never be the one he chose

All's well that ends well I suppose

I make the perfect second lead

But god, for once I wish it were me

Your happy ending looks like my world ending

Painfully delicate

Hanging on by just a thread

I've watched long enough that it's no cruel surprise

I just fooled myself thinking that I'd have more time

When he smiles at you all slow

If only I didn't have to know

I guess this is just how it goes

Should've known that it's just not my show

Forget a green screen sunset

All I've got left is bittersweet regret

This is just how the story goes

Might as well have handed me a script and said I'd never be the one he chose

All's well that ends well I suppose

And I wonder why

The price of my silence is so high

Maybe it's worth it if the only heart breaking is mine

I make the perfect second lead

But god, for once I wish it were me
