I give an inch you take a mile
There's venom in that wicked smile
So sink those teeth into my skin just one more time for me
My technicolor wonderland faded to gray
The static coming from your mouth carries no weight
The credits start to roll the aftermath is pending far from happy ending
What now
This silent cabaret has gone on far too long
And now the crowd is getting restless
The once-was lively actress you've directed has gone breathless
You scream the words but all I see is black and white
Details are blurred and no one's right
I've conquered every battle just to finally lose the war
'Cause in the end the hardest part is knowing I can't hate you anymore
And for the record I'm fine
Your views and my actions will never align
You want to control me you don't even know me
You think that you might but I'm more than your trophy
It's gone on far too long, and now the crowd is getting restless
The once-was lively actress you've directed has gone breathless
The role you made me play I'll never be your perfect princess
You'll get your grand finale if we're not in coexistence
The airwaves are thick from your blaring tone
You laugh as you sit atop of your throne
No longer I hide a phantom no more
You'll open your eyes when I walk out the door
You scream the words but all I see is black and white
Details are blurred and no one's right
You scream the words but all I see is black and white
Details are blurred and no one's right
I've conquered every battle just to finally lose the war
'Cause in the end the hardest part is knowing I can't hate you anymore
