[Verse 1]
You say I'm crazy
For catching you in 4K lies
You call it overthinking
I call it opening my eyes
Your ego needs a massage
Mine just needs some sleep
You love you so completely
There’s no “us” left to keep
[Pre-Chorus]
You rewrite every story
I’m done with every edit
You’re starring in a movie
I’m walking off the set and
[Chorus]
This is my gaslight anthem
I’m dancing in the flames you made (oh yeah)
You shrink my world
I throw the curtains wide
Watch me upgrade
You can keep your mirror kingdom
I’m busy taking back my name
You’re the joke in yesterday’s punchline
I’m the glitter in the escape
[Verse 2]
You say I’m “too emotional”
While you flip every single chair
You post us like a fairytale
I’m crop‑out
Standing right there
You rate all of my outfits
From your plastic golden throne
Congratulations
Darling
You’ve just lost the best you've owned
[Pre-Chorus]
You love the sound of your voice
So talk to your reflection
I’ve turned off closed captions
For your constant self‑correction
[Chorus]
This is my gaslight anthem
I’m dancing in the flames you made (hey!)
You shrink my world
I throw the curtains wide
Watch me upgrade
You can keep your mirror kingdom
I’m busy taking back my name
You’re the joke in yesterday’s punchline
I’m the glitter in the escape
[Bridge]
Thank you for the drama
Taught me how to spot the spin
Now I pack my boundaries first
Before I ever move in
You’ll say I never loved you
I’ll say “sure
Enjoy the show”
You can edit out my exit
But you’ll feel the space I own
[Chorus]
This is my gaslight anthem
I’m dancing in the flames you made (ooh yeah)
You shrink my world
I throw the curtains wide
Watch me upgrade
You can keep your mirror kingdom
I’m busy taking back my name
You’re the lead in your own legend
I’m the hero who walked away
[Outro]
You’re the lead in your own legend
I’m the one who got away
Sing my gaslight anthem
Laughing
’Cause I survived you anyway
