Lyrics

They say fairytales don't exist
Not my fault I'm an optimist, no
And I'll never change

Twin flames you dove right into my
life headfirst
Read my mind, you knew every word
So close, on the same page
Should've known there'd be a plot twist

You wrote me out, killed me off in your story
Erased my name, filled the blanks, no warning
Got me fading slow, haunted by the ghost of the you I used to know
Did I miss a line, skip a page, where's the subtext?
Asking why, got me waiting here in suspense
Poisoned memories of who we used to be, were we just a fantasy?

Flashback, we were magic once upon a time
Tragic how it got one sided
So fast, turned me into the outcast
What kind of hero would do that?
You devised this, now it's my turn to re-write it
Solo, trying to read between the lines
Did I deserve to be villainized so cold?
Guess I'll never know
Was I nothing but a plot twist?

You wrote me out, killed me off in your story
Erased my name, filled the blanks, no warning
Got me fading slow, haunted by the ghost of the you I used to know
Did I miss a line, skip a page, where's the subtext?
Asking why, got me waiting here in suspense
Poisoned memories of who we used to be, were we just a fantasy?

Exiled to the afterlife
Of your abandoned storylines
Monologuing in my mind
Watching from the other side
Fed me lies to keep me blind
So I skimmed over all the signs
You foreshadowed this whole time
Bolded out and underlined
(Flashback) Twisting fiction from the facts
Built me up to watch me crash
(Magic) Fingers crossed behind your back
(Tragic) Story's over, just like that
(Out) Set me up to come undone
(Cast) All the way from chapter one
You always knew I'd be your plot twist

You wrote me out, killed me off in your story
Erased my name, filled the blanks, no warning
Had me fading slow, haunted by the ghost of the you I used to know
Did I miss a line, skip a page, where's the subtext?
Asking why, left me waiting here in suspense
Poisoned memories of who we used to be, we were just a fantasy
