You're The Only One (I Never Performed For) Lyrics

He wanted me romanticized
And wanted a man [?]
But I needed an audience
Or I needed someone like him
Exhibition of the drive
'Til you talked me off the cliff
I was shocked, I was scared
I was underprepared
For someone to accept me
Broken, bare

Get it out your head
That you're just like all the rest
'Cause all I've ever known is saviors and stage doors
And you're the only one I never performed for
So cut the cameras
And cancel the glamour
I know we said goodbye, but I will think of you forever
All the patriarchs are calling it poor form
That I loved someone I never performed for

Bye-bye, blackbird
Came running home to you
'Til my legs gave out
And our plans fell through
Now I hear you like a laugh from the second grade
Miss you like childhood, never the same
But I'll take what I can get
(I'll take what I can get)
That's everything you left (Aah, aah, aah)
(That's everything you left!)

Get it out your head
That you're just like all the rest
'Cause all I've ever known is saviors and stage doors
And you're the only one I never performed for
So cut the cameras
And cancel the glamour
I know we said goodbye, but I will think of you forever
All the patriarchs are calling it poor form
That I loved someone I never performed for

You made the world stop
Broke my soul twice [?]
Know you, don't talk [?]
You're in my love song
And on your very first attempts
You shocked the showgirl [?] down
Never a chance to resurrect
Never regret or born again (Love songs)
You know you just made perfect sense
You took it all up off my chest
All through my brains, blood, bones and flesh
Think I will love you 'til the end
