Was always the type to trust far too easily
Never could see what was right in front of me
Baby, I let you play this out
Let you mess around
Cast in the part of a broken heart
Now I, I won't cry another tear for you
I know exactly what you're gonna do
I'll be the one to bring the curtain down
Before you can make your move
Follow my lead and take a bow
Think of me as you face the crowd
To find the one you're after
Your new lead actor
Ready to take the center stage
And you thought I'd never know, Oh-/
But you left their message on your phone
You weren't discreet at all-/
Just waiting to fall farther down into this arc
Now I, I won't cry another tear for you
I know exactly what you're gonna do
I'll be the one to bring the curtain down
Before you can make your move
"It was just like a movie
With everyone waiting for the big plot-twist"
"And the award for best actor won't be going to you"
Tear it up
The script you had all thought out
You'd recite when I found out, love
Thought it'd be the talk of the town
But not with you as the clown
Follow my lead and take a bow
Think of me as you face the crowd
To find the one you're after
Your new lead actor
Ready to take you away
Follow my lead and take a bow
Think of me as you face the crowd
To find the one you're after
Your new lead actor
Ready to take the center stage
Maybe, baby, it's you not me
Can't let it be, ready for center stage
Maybe, baby, it's you not me
Can't let it be, ready for center stage
