Addicted to Tragedy

They wouldn't leave me alone.

So I abandoned myself.

They still wanted me to go on and act.

So I told them I forgot all the lines.

None of it mattered, and I was never any kind of star.

I stopped this heart from feeling anything at all.

I joined the audience in the story of my life.

I watched with all the other spectators.

It's too painful to play any of my own parts.

You play them all.

I watched you on the stage, and you're a bad actor.

Much worse than me, but I watched you on my stage.

I'm too scared to play any part.

To scared to let anyone but you play the parts.

You're a really bad actor in the story of my life.

But I want you to play all the parts.

I won't watch anyone else.
