Backlight Lyrics

I love you but loathe what you've done to me

Drove me into plucking out my wings

Stripped bones, ripped innards

So you could have me for dinner

Silver tongue it scrapes on jagged teeth

Smiling wide and hide what lies beneath

Toss me pain killers

Pour me out the bitters

When did this "happy fairytale"

Suddenly turn Grimm?

And was our "happy ending"

Ever meant to begin?

You say I could be an actor

I say "I could not agree more"

Every day I act like I'm alright

When I walk out my door

Say, we could star in movies

We'll make it on TV

As long as I'm supporting role

So the backlight outshines me

Had not seen the scars you were leaving then

Not until I tried to start again

Set fire burn and simmer

See how bright I shimmer

You say I could be an artist

I say that I already paint

Every day a smile upon my face

So one sees the rain

Say, we could star in movies

We'll make it on TV

As long as I'm supporting role

So the backlight outshines me
