How the Lights Lyrics

It's so hard to say goodbye;
Everybody says so
So I tend to hang on
In case there's something left
There's so much that you could say
And that you've said about me
But one is that I always stay
Right until the very end
And now the lights are up
And the credits rolling

It says we were both antagonists
The hero they rescued
For another story
Where there were more lines
Of happiness
They said there were even some moments of brilliance
But (they went on to say)
The rest was mostly grey
So, I guess that's our love
I guess that's our love, babe
Not a masterpiece
Not a mistress
Just a failure in the first degree
And now the lights are up
And the credits rolling
It says we were both antagonists
The hero they rescued
For another story
Where there were more lines
Of happiness
