Three Act Show

I am laughing right now as I type this, mostly because this song is really opposite of what I typically do and also because I have no clue where the inspiration to this one came from, other than the first verse practically wrote itself and I just went from there.  Someone who doesn't know me might think the events in this song actually happened.  Well...wait a second, let me clarify: I'm sure they did happen to someone at one time, just not me (thank goodness).  Sorry to disappoint.  Almost all of what I've written up to this point has been at least somewhat drawn from personal experience, but this one? Not entirely sure what provoked it.  Anyway, my sister Amber said this is her favorite one because it's "funny."  Then again, she says "THAT one is definitely my favorite" about every song I play for her.   Without further ado, here is "Three Act Show"...

Three Act Show

If you have something to say, well go and say it all right now
It's time to speak your peace then you can go and take a bow
The floor is your I won't interrupt cause you and I both know
My hands are washed, I'm done with you and your three act show

It started like a fairytale, but then things unraveled quickly
You had me fooled right at the very start
But just like dirt comes out in wash I saw who you really were
All three acts of us were destined to fall apart

I'll admit Act 1 was your only claim to fame
But in Act 2 you started falling when lies became your game
Your excuse was really sad but I gave you a pass
Until it happened three more times I knew we would not last

It started like a fairytale, but then things unraveled quickly

You had me fooled right at the very start

But just like dirt comes out in wash I saw who you really were

All three acts of us were destined to fall apart

As if I hadn't had enough I got a knock one night

Act 3 starred yourself and also all of your pride

Instead of "It's not you, it's me" you said that you'd moved on

Truth is I was glad cause you helped me to write this song

It started like a fairytale, but then things unraveled quickly

You had me fooled right at the very start

But just like dirt comes out in wash I saw who you really were

All three acts of us were destined to fall apart

Of course I am not at all shocked to see you come crawling back

But this time I am all the wiser too

So go ahead: plead and beg, I won't be so quick to fall

My only wish for you is to get a clue

If you have something to say, well go and say it all right now

It's time to speak your peace then you can go and take a bow

The floor is your I won't interrupt cause you and I both know

My hands are washed, I'm done with you and your three act show
