classic tragedy Lyrics

Set the stage

Dim the lights

An audience of one

Is all that I could find tonight

Start the show

Find my eyes

All I need to hear

Is written in your lines

Oh, I'm speechless and afraid

When you look away

To find another actor

Entering the stage

And for your final act

You're never coming back

You were all I wanted

But the theatre lights go black

Show me how to breathe again

Curtain call

One last time

Was everything you told me

Just words you memorized?

Watch you go

Downstage right

Did you mean it when you told me

Your soul will search for mine?

Oh, I'm helpless and ashamed

When you walk away

I'm dying for an encore

But you're hiding backstage

And when we reach the end

My dying breath is spent

I'll never find another

I'll never love again

Do we have to be a tragedy?
