Player In A Tragedy


I didn't mean to hit the ground but it's the fall that saved me
It started when I had to see her and then I had to hear her voice
It got worse when she taught me to breathe then she convinced me that I wasn't leaving
And she pulled me back in oh, I'd let her do it all again
As if I had a choice

I went back on who I am to be here alone
back on who I am now she is my home

I hadn't had much experience with this happiness thing
But she forced me upon this mood like a lonely soul who takes to drinking
Then she struck my weaknesses with a devilish glare
Her oh so perpetual pout and the smile I love and find so rare

am I happy? I can't tell but the smile suggests I am
Or maybe I'm a player in a tragedy I wrote
But the audience is laughing so I'll keep hamming it up
And smiling politely smiling politely smiling
