lyrics

(darling)

Year seven, third row, she left at the interval
I saw the seat. Mid-song. Feathers, full production, packed house.
And I performed the entire second act to an empty chair
(an empty chair)
Best show of my career, allegedly. Reviews were extraordinary.

Nobody knew (nobody knew)
Two thousand people and one of them wasn't there

Interval
(interval)
Twenty minutes where my mother decided
Interval
And I have been doing the second act ever since

She had a reason. She always has a reason. It was a real one.
That's what makes it unusable — I cannot even be wronged properly
A woman with a train to catch is not a villain
(not a villain)
So the wound has nowhere to go and it goes into the show

(exposed, no production)
Nine years later she drew an arrow on a photograph.
I have decided that cancels it.
I decided that. Nobody offered. I just decided.
(EXPLOSION BACK)

Interval
(interval)
Twenty minutes where my mother decided
Interval
And I have been doing the second act ever since

(darling.)
