Love as Tragedy: A Play in 3 Acts Lyrics

Act 1 was brilliant
We played our parts so convincing
And I still remember the lines
You had me going on first dates
And I fell like Icarus falling away from the sun

Now that it's all over and done I noticed
You just needed someone to play your damsel
Now that I can see things a little clearer
I feel sorry for the next girl
And you will always see
You'll always see love as tragedy
You will always see
You'll always see love as tragedy

Act 2 was gripping
She came out of nowhere
Storm in a teacup, the irony bare
And you seem so honest
Playing your parts so convincing
But she is speaking my lines

Now that it's all over and done I noticed
You just needed someone to play your damsel
Now that I can see things a little clearer
I feel sorry for the next girl
And you will always see
You'll always see love as tragedy
You will always see
You'll always see love as tragedy

Now that it's all over and done I noticed
You just needed someone to play your damsel
Now that I can see things a little clearer
I feel sorry for the next girl

Now that it's all over and done I noticed
You just needed someone to play your damsel
Now that I can see things a little clearer
I feel sorry for the next girl
And you will always see
You'll always see love as tragedy
You will always see
You'll always see love as tragedy

So don't let me sit through another minute
'Cause Act 3's the part that I couldn't get right
And you'll be persistent 'til somebody gets it
But I don't intend on finding out tonight
