Stage Lights

I’m sorry but you got me wrong
I wasn’t born to love you
And I wasn’t born to tear your world apart
You cast me in that role to make your one-act life feel full
And I am sorry that I know I wasn’t born to play that part
And now you’re left alone thinking you see the curtains closing
The stage lights overhead are flickering
And I’m there in the chair without a care just gently dozing
The same old boy, the same new man that I have always been
I’m sorry that I broke your heart
I wasn’t meant to hold it
It is fragile and I dropped it on that day
The pieces filled the room with that resounding static boom
And they are cutting through my shoes as I am trying to walk away
And yes, it meant a lot, I wouldn’t try to say it didn’t
So get those dirty words out of your mouth
What I’m trying to say is things have changed and they are different
And I don’t know the way either but I am leaving now
