You were my tale to tell,
*what a plot twist you were.
Knocked the wind, out of my sails,
*what a plot twist you were.
With no tears or remorse,
*what a plot twist you were.
I was just the main course,
*what a plot twist you were.
A hit and run in the making,
*what a plot twist you were.
Promises need forsaking,
*what a plot twist you were.
All the things you said, lies,
*what a plot twist you were.
Your hellos were goodbyes.
What a plot twist you were,
I was sold from the start.
The same lines, you told her,
the ones that tore me apart.
The plot twist you were,
are now the same ones I choose,
to gather my pride.
You can be her excuse.
