Once you looked in my eyes  
Said no more goodbyes           
I was so naïve                        
 
Lights went up
And made me see
It was all fantasy
Cue the crowd, stupid me

Now I know its time to leave

All in for the lines
And the stories you told
Everything that you said
Was just a part of the role
You were the hero and I
Was the one to be saved

I’ve read the script stop the scene
No, I won’t pretend
To be something I’m not
Cause I know how this ends
Life’s not a movie
So cut to the fade
I won’t be played

New scene, fades in and my
Lips speaking brand new lines
In a different role

Camera pans, it’s a different day
Wounded, wiser - but I’m on my way
Now I am in control

My name up on the marquee
 
All in for the lines
And the stories you told
Everything that you said
Was just a part of the role
You were the hero and I 
Was the one to be saved

I’ve read the script stop the scene
no I won’t pretend
To be something I’m not
Cause I know how this ends
Life’s not a movie
So cut to the fade

Bridge

It’s not my play
A brand new day
I’m on my way

Lights went up 
Now I see…

The lines you sold
The stories you told
The things you said
Just a part of your role
But you weren’t a hero and I
Don’t need to be saved

I’ve read the script stopped the scene
I won’t pretend
To be something I’m not
Cause we know how this ends
This is my movie 
Cut to the fade
