The Understudy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Freeze, Tonight I know I will,
When I see how well you're living,
Just hold the camera still
You, You look past me and smile
Just roll a cigarette,
I know it's been a while
These days your lips just seem so dry,
Your cheeks just seem so pale,
I often wondered why
Now you've made your views quite clear,
And I can't condone my actions,
But I guess we have to live with them
But now I've figured you out,
And I wont be sucked back in,
The understudy wins
But now I've figured you out,
And I wont be sucked back in,
The understudy wins
