[Lyric] Side Character (Sarah Catharine)

[Verse 1]
Do you even know what the word ‘special’ means?
Cause I heard you said it to all the girls before me
God I was so stupid
Thinking you were worth losing
Everything from pride to my origin story
You tell lies just so you can say sorry
And play like you’re the hero
While taking shots at me like they’re free throws

[Pre-Chorus]
But I don’t know how to act
When our movie’s over

[Chorus]
You took all of the spotlight from me
Am I just your comedic relief?
I still can’t believe that you only kept me for the story

[Verse 2]
And you want a manic pixie dream girl
But I’m a romantic, kind-of mean girl
Didn’t get the part
But that’s not my villain arc
Cause everything you do is criminally calculated and manipulative
You hide it so well
Always performing
Didn’t read the parental warnings
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t know how we’ll act
When our movie’s over

[Chorus]
You took all of the spotlight from me
Am I just your comedic relief?
I still can’t believe that you only kept me for the story

[Bridge]
And I’ll never be ‘her’
But I helped you get there
Does it make it hurt worse that I know my purpose was not to be first?
But a side character
I didn’t even see my name inside the credits

[Chorus]
You took all of the spotlight from me
Am I just your comedic relief?
I still can’t believe that you only kept me for the story
