delikately - ghostwriting my own goodbye lyrics

Loading...

if i could die here, no one would clap
no curtain call. no flowers on the set
just the soft thud of a closing door
and silence dressed in cigarette regret

i was always the stand+in
never the girl they cast. (never…)

the room went quiet after i left. (so quiet)
not out of grief just disinterest
an extra in my own descent
scripted pain, improvised indifference

if it wasn’t real, why did it ruin me?
i stayed just long enough to leave dramatically
now i’m ghostwriting my own goodbye
tragic, detached, and critically acclaimed

rotting in real time
but at least it’s beautifully framed

where do all the versions of me go? (where?)
the ones i invented just to be adored
girls with softer edges
who flinch quieter, cry prettier
your silence wasn’t loud just listless
you didn’t leave you just forgot to stay
we didn’t break we bled out slow
like aspirin ghosting in a glass of yesterday

if it wasn’t real, why did it ruin me?
i stayed just long enough to make it art
now i’m ghostwriting my own goodbye
tragic enough to get five stars

called it closure, but it was an exit wound
and i dressed it like a fashion mood

i was always the stand+in
never the girl they cast

i left her behind like an old costume
cheap, ill+fitting, soaked in someone else’s script
beautiful in the post+credit scene
faces blurred, but still dramatic
i didn’t want closure. i wanted the monologue (say it…)
and you gave me that
unwritten, unresolved
but devastatingly aesthetic. (just like us.)

so here lies the girl
who romanticized heartbreak like it paid rent
you won’t miss her
but you might quote her. (you will.)
yours, forever
