Can we start again?
I jumped the gun and missed my cue
And now instead of standing in the spotlight
I’ve been pushed off stage right
(which is probably for the best)
Shut off the lights already
Save the curtain call for those that deserve it
I forgot all my lines
And stumbled over the words
And all I did was make a fool of myself
In front of the only audience that mattered
Somewhere I lost the blocking
I couldn’t cover it up this time
Maybe it’s time to just give up
I can’t ever seem to get it right
Different show, same old reviews
Never the leading man
Not even good enough for the supporting role
Better off behind the scenes
But I keep trying
And failing
And now the crowd is laughing
When they’re supposed to be in awe
I give up
Just cast someone else next time
I’m not meant for the limelight
Take the makeup off
Find someone to fit the costume
Someone better suited for the role
Someone that can say the right things
And be what you need
Someone that’s not me
