Lyrics
Was always the type to trust far too easily
Expressing a tendency to trust others too easily in the past.
Never could see what was right in front of me
Unable to perceive what was obvious or clear.
Baby, I let you play this out
Acknowledging allowing someone to manipulate the situation.
Let you mess around
Allowing someone to act improperly or inappropriately.
Cast in the part of a broken heart
Being assigned the role of someone who's emotionally hurt.
Now I, I won't cry another tear for you
Refusing to cry or show emotion over the situation anymore.
I know exactly what you're gonna do
Having a clear understanding of the other person's intentions or actions.
I'll be the one to bring the curtain down
Deciding to end the situation before the other person can act.
Before you can make your move
Preventing the other person from executing their plan or strategy.
Follow my lead and take a bow
Guiding the other person on how to end things.
Think of me as you face the crowd
Asking the other person to remember during their public moment.
To find the one you're after
Encouraging the person to search for their desired partner.
Your new lead actor
Referencing the replacement for oneself in the other person's life.
Ready to take the center stage
Being prepared to take the main role or attention in the situation.
And you thought I'd never know, oh
Realizing something previously unknown or hidden.
But you left their message on your phone
Discovering evidence of the other person's actions.
You weren't discreet at all
Not being discreet or secretive about the situation.
Just waiting to fall farther down into this arc
Expecting a further decline or worsening of the situation.
Now I, I won't cry another tear for you
Reiterating the decision not to cry over the situation.
I know exactly what you're gonna do
Understanding the intentions or actions of the other person.
I'll be the one to bring the curtain down
Intending to end things before the other person's actions.
Before you can make your move
Stopping the other person from executing their plan or strategy.
It was just like a movie,
Comparing the situation to a scripted film scenario.
with everyone waiting for the big plot-twist
Describing the anticipation of a surprising twist.
And the award for best actor won't be going to you
Asserting that the other person won't be successful in their role.
Tear it up
Urging to discard the planned scenario or story.
The script you had all thought out
Advising to abandon the preconceived plan.
You'd recite when I found out, love
Expecting a certain reaction upon discovery of the truth.
Thought it'd be the talk of the town
Believing the situation would attract attention but not in a favorable light.
But not with you as the clown
Asserting that the other person won't gain sympathy or support.
Follow my lead and take a bow
Repeating the guidance to end things gracefully.
Think of me as you face the crowd
Asking the other person to remember during their public moment.
To find the one you're after
Encouraging the person to search for their desired partner.
Your new lead actor
Referencing the replacement for oneself in the other person's life.
Ready to take you away
Being prepared to take control or remove the other person.
Follow my lead and take a bow
Repeating the guidance to end things gracefully.

Your new lead actor
Referencing the replacement for oneself in the other person's life.
Ready to take the center stage
Being ready to take control or remove the other person.
Maybe, baby, it's you not me
Considering the possibility that the issue lies with the other person.
Can't let it be, ready for center stage
Unwillingness to let the situation remain unchanged.
Maybe, baby, it's you not me
