[Verse 1]
I wanted to be happy with you
Simple as coffee and June
But you turned every night into thunder
Turned every small room into doom
You made me want to run to the water
Let the cold drag me out of my skin
But I stood on the shore just watching
Let the waves crash louder than my grin
[Chorus]
We watched it play out like a movie
Slow burn
Bad script
Same scene on repeat
You held the remote like a promise
Paused every time I tried to speak
Then you leaned over
Whispered “I’m done”
Hit stop right before the fix
You decided you wanted the movie to end
Left me alone in the credits
[Verse 2]
You loved when I flinched at your silence
Said I was “so deep
” called it art
I learned every twist
Every tantrum
Still hoped for a soft second start
I stayed through the worst double feature
Clutched my own hands in the dark
Counting each breath like a subtitle
Waiting for light
For a spark
[Chorus]
We watched it play out like a movie
Slow burn
Bad script
Same scene on repeat
You held the remote like a promise
Paused every time I tried to speak
Then you leaned over
Whispered “I’m done”
Hit stop right before the fix
You decided you wanted the movie to end
Left me alone in the credits
[Bridge]
Funny how you walked out smiling (hey)
Like you just beat some game in your head
I stayed there
Stuck to my seat
Replaying every word that you said
Now I’m walking out of that theater
Eyes sore
But I’m finally free
If you ever hit play on our story again
It won’t be starring me (won’t be starring me)
[Chorus]
We watched it play out like a movie
Slow burn
Bad script
Same scene on repeat
You held the remote like a promise
Paused every time I tried to speak
Then you leaned over
Whispered “I’m done”
Hit stop right before the fix
You decided you wanted the movie to end
But I’m the one who leaves the credits
[Outro]
Fade out the frame
Roll back the reel
I’m stepping outside
To remember how real feels
