[Verse 1]
Fade-out the scene of you and I
Now it's not the same
We'll never be the same
Right at the end I forgot my lines
Now it's the same
We'll never be the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Feeling like a star
But somebody turned out the lights
Ooh, I thought you were my hero
But baby, you're my kryptonite

[Chorus]
I'm looking for the light in the screenplay telling you not to go
If it were up to me this wouldn't happen to me
I'm waiting for the twist in the plot
Where you come back to prove me wrong
This is our movie based on a true story

[Verse 2]
Fade-in, me you left behind
Now I'm not the same
I'll never be the same
Cut to the close-up of me crying
Now I'm not the same
I'll never be the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Doesn't always play out
The way you see it in your mind
Now I guess I gotta face
You won't be coming back in real life

[Chorus]
I'm looking for the light in the screenplay telling you not to go
If it were up to me this wouldn't happen to me
I'm waiting for the twist in the plot
Where you come back to prove me wrong
This is our movie based on a true story

[Bridge]
Starts with it, the last minute
Hand in hand as the sun goes down
Cue the music, roll the credits
Bring the curtains down

[Chorus]
I'm looking for the light in the screenplay telling you not to go
If it were up to me this wouldn't happen to me
I'm waiting for the twist in the plot
Where you come back to prove me wrong
This is our movie based on a true story
