The Heroine |
| The city is wartorn |
| And nearly impassable |
| I act the lovelorn |
| Dramatically laughable |
| You said you’d come see me |
| Here underground |
| Now it’s closing night |
| And you can’t be found |
| I go through the motions again and again |
| But you are not here to see them |
| I go through the emotions again and again |
| And this time I actually feel them |
| I play the heroine |
| I play to their sympathies |
| I say the sweetest things |
| To command their empathy |
| I asked just one thing of you, to be here |
| Did I not let it slip that I was sincere? |
| That was my best poker face, trying not to care |
| I watch and I wait while you never appear |
| The city is wartorn |
| And nearly impassable |
| I act the lovelorn |
| I used to be laughable |
| And though I’ve been spoiled by petty privilege |
| I am no child throwing a fit |
| I could write the book of disappointment |
| And you’d be the final chapter of it |
| So you’re a coward |
| Or could never love me |
| Or you have fallen |
| To the enemy |
| I asked just one thing of you, to be here |
| Did I not let it slip that I was sincere? |
| That was my best poker face, trying not to care |
| I watch and I wait while you never appear |
| All these people came all this way |
| Faces stained with loss but smiling as they’re crying |
| I would rather see you laugh at my tragedy |
| Than choke on these tears while I’m curtsying |
| So you’re a coward |
| Or could never love me |
| Or you have fallen |
| To the enemy |
| The city is wartorn |
| And nearly impassable |
| I act the lovelorn |
| I used to be laughable |
