VERSE 1]
You fell for a girl who gets it right
The kind of love I never learned in time
Your smile’s a kind I forgot you had
She’s everything I’m not
And maybe that’s not so bad
(I guess not)
[PRE-CHORUS]
I was never really good enough
For you, for me, for anyone
And I can’t even blame you
’Cause I wouldn’t pick me either
A pathological people pleaser
[CHORUS]
I am not the protagonist, In our love story
Just a bitter narcissist, Scared of being lonely
Now I’m on the sidelines
Watching you leave
For someone bright
I will never be the one
No matter how hard I try
'Cause I'm not the protagonist
In this story
[VERSE 2]
I asked for more than I was cast to play
Forgot I wasn’t the lead anyway
And I couldn’t even cry
When she took what was mine
You were always meant
For a better life
[PRE-CHORUS]
I was never really good enough
For you, for me, for anyone
And I can’t even blame you
’Cause I wouldn’t pick me either
A pathological people pleaser
[CHORUS]
I am not the protagonist, Of your love story
Just a selfish egoist, Who lost everything
Now I’m on the sidelines
With tears in my eyes
And a kiss goodbye
I will never be the one
No matter how hard I try
Cause I'm not the protagonist
In this story
(Interlude)
(and I’m starting to wonder if I ever was alive)
[BRIDGE ]
I watched the world move
While I stayed still
They said, “You’ll bloom”
But I never will
She’s your happy ending
While I fade into setting
Smiling through the pain
[CHORUS]
I am not the protagonist
In our love story
Just a bitter narcissist
Scared of being lonely
[OUTRO ]
So roll the credits
Say her name
While mine
Fades away
[Female Vocal]
