Story of Your Life - drama



Based On : Right Where You Left Me by Taylor Swift

You could be living your best life in the city
I could be in a small town hoping you still remember me
You could be riding on the West Coast in Cali
I could be hung up on forever jealousy

I'm drowning in a bath tub
Overflowing with my own heartache
And you in an infinity pool
Wasting your life in an ashtray

Dust rains on every part of you, that you've left behind
Your musty ghost paces back and forth
Looking for the right time to head into the light
I stand, arms open wide in the eclipse of your life
It took me long enough to realise
I was the villain in the story of your life

You could be a skyscraper of surety
But you chose to be a black hole of insecurities
It reminds me of every battle you had with me
It left me reeking in disbelief

I'm drowning in my bathtub
Overflowing with my own heartbreak
And you in an infinity pool
Picking fights to fade your mistakes

But the night grows younger with every hour
The fool in you comes out
The clock runs out when you scream and shout
You lose sight of what it's all about
My heart goes out to the new someone that you show around
It's taken me long enough to realise
I'm the origin to your villain in the story of your life

To see someone through different eyes
Stings better than a scorpion
To hold and to love till the day they die
Don't forget to count me in

Pleasure houses all the guilt inside
Is that an excuse for you? 
To be like this every time
I hope it blinds your cynical view

Funny looks as you sit by yourself at a cafĂ© booth
Order for one and another someone you still hope will show up
Do you still live in wonderful dreams and heartbreak fantasies
Or do you live like your life story is meant to be in a magazine
But it still weighs on me like a fever dream 
Eight years is a really long time
To figure out I was more than just
A foreword in the story of your life.
