Oh, what a tragedy, the table's set
But one chair stays empty tonight
It's been over a month, no trace of you
Did you decide to disappear out of spite?
And I'm still hoping you won't knock on my door
With a bouquet in hand and apologies galore
With me, you had one in a million
But for you? A dime in a dozen, just another civilian

And I can't believe I ever thought you were the one
Now I'm standing tall, your shadow's undone

Someday you'll die, and as you rise to the skies
With my song in your ears, you'll realize
Oh, yeah, she stayed with me until the end, someday you'll die, and as you rise to the skies
You'll think: Oh, yeah, she was my invention, my greatest lie
And I just want to feel, I just wanted to feel
That rush, that thrill, without lifting a finger, it's real

Oh, what a tragedy, the house you dared to call your home
Your family sits silent, they won't pick up the phone
Oh, what a tragedy, my fans demand the truth tonight
But I've got a show in Tulsa, where the neon lights burn bright
As I step on stage, I know this is one of those highs
That only hits once, but babe, for me, this one electrifies

And I can't believe I ever thought you were the one
Now I'm shining bright, your shadow's gone

Someday you'll die, and as you rise to the skies
With my song in your ears, you'll realize
Oh, yeah, she stayed with me until the end, someday you'll die, and as you rise to the skies
You'll think: Oh, yeah, she was my invention, my greatest lie

And every note, every line, it'll haunt you tonight
While I'm here, on fire, living my best life
I gave you art, I gave you heart
And now I'm the melody tearing you apart

Someday you'll die, and as you rise to the skies
With my song in your ears, you'll realize
Oh, yeah, she stayed with me until the end, someday you'll die, and as you rise to the skies
You'll think: Oh, yeah, she was my invention, my greatest lie
And I just want to feel, I just wanted to feel
That rush, that thrill, it's all finally real
