^{We're kissing in a closet.
Not exactly a stage, but I've got high nerves anyway.
My feet are arched to a ballerina's point and I'm all but
                        'falling out of my jewelry box'

                      "I'm off to the city. I Breathe Broadway."

You Said:       "Forget it, doll. Forget coming back to me. I wont want you by
                      the time you're too used and loveless to be valuable to
                      anyone else."

You mean everything to me, but I've stopped trying.
                                           I'd marry you tonight.

Please support me.
My first real chance for spotlight.
You're killing me.
Just support me.

City lights reflect my tears.
Why couldn't you just be there for me     ?

                     Last notes are strained and I sink to a crumpled butterfly on stage.
                     I'm getting everyone to fall in love with me.
                     They all start to clap
                     until they realize I am not breathing.
It turns out my heartbeats' stopped trying too.

            ^{I'd marry you tonight ..
                          if I wasnt covered in this white sheet becoming
                          a statistic for literal heart attacks.}}
