Lyrics: I know all her lines by heart, I've been rehearsing in the dark, I could play her part in my sleep, I've memorized the spark. They put her name up on the door, they gave me "just in case," I'm the girl they keep in the wings with a costume and no face. And I tell myself that maybe if the lead should ever fall, I'll finally get the light — but I don't want it broken, I want it all, 'Cause I'm so tired of being the understudy, loving from the shadow of the stage, watching someone else walk out and take the ending that I learned by heart on every single page. I don't want to be the second-best somebody, the almost, the in-case, the also-there, so I'm walking out from behind the curtain, even if the only seat that's filled is empty air. I have loved you like an audience that no one thinks to thank, I clapped until my hands went numb from three rows back in the dark. And you never even saw me, I was scenery to you, the understudy waiting for a call that never grew. So I'm taking off the costume that was never mine to keep, I'd rather flop as me than win the role that let me sleep, 'Cause I'm so tired of being the understudy, loving from the shadow of the stage, watching someone else walk out and take the ending that I learned by heart on every single page. The lights come up, the lights come up, on the only life I've got, so I won't give it up, the lights come up. So I'm walking out from behind the curtain, even if the only seat that's filled is empty air. Even if the only seat is empty air. #darkpop #altpop #theatre #sadsong #emotional #originalsong #ForesicOrchestra #lyricvideo
