[Pre-Chorus]
But the calendar flipped and the fairy tale broke
Your beautiful promises dissolved into smoke
Suddenly I am the one with the flaws
Paying the price for your silent applause

[Chorus]
I fell in love with a reflection of me
'Cause you only shine when there’s someone to see
You twist up the truth till I doubt what is real
Blaming my heart for the pain that I feel
I gave you my soul, but you wanted a stage
Now I’m just a character trapped on your page
Yeah, I fell in love with a narcissist
Who loves their own shadow more than I could exist

[Verse 2]
You love-bombed the summer, then froze out the spring
A master of turning a fight into nothing
You look in the mirror, it’s all that you trace
While I’m like a ghost standing right in your space
If I cry, I’m "dramatic," if I speak, I am "wrong"
You rewritten history all season long

[Pre-Chorus]
And it makes me feel crazy, it makes me feel small
To realize you never loved me at all
You just loved the way that I worshiped your name
And how easily you could control the whole game

[Bridge]
They warned me about you, but I couldn't see
How someone so pretty could kill quietly
You need an audience, you need the praise
To feed the dark hunger that locks you in place
But the spotlight is fading, the curtains will fall
And a house built on ego has no floor at all

[Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I fell in love with a reflection of me
But I'm finally breaking the spell, can't you see?
You can keep all the history you chose to rewrite
I'm taking my heart back and walking tonight
I gave you my soul, but I'm closing the stage
I’m tearing myself right out of your page
Yeah, I fell in love with a narcissist
But I’m learning that I am the one who exists

[Outro]
The mirror is shattering
The illusion is gone
You’re left in an empty room
With no one to cheer you on.

[Verse 1] You built a pedestal and called it a throne Handed me a crown that was never my own Said I was the missing piece to your puzzle, your art But you were just drafting a script for my heart The charm was a wildfire, blinding and bright You loved how I looked in your perfect light [Pre-Chorus] But the calendar flipped and the fairy tale broke Your beautiful promises dissolved into smoke Suddenly I am the one with the flaws Paying the price for your silent applause [Chorus] I fell in love with a reflection of me 'Cause you only shine when there’s someone to see You twist up the truth till I doubt what is real Blaming my heart for the pain that I feel I gave you my soul, but you wanted a stage Now I’m just a character trapped on your page Yeah, I fell in love with a narcissist Who loves their own shadow more than I could exist [Verse 2] You love-bombed the summer, then froze out the spring A master of turning a fight into nothing You look in the mirror, it’s all that you trace While I’m like a ghost standing right in your space If I cry, I’m "dramatic," if I speak, I am "wrong" You rewritten history all season long [Pre-Chorus] And it makes me feel crazy, it makes me feel small To realize you never loved me at all You just loved the way that I worshiped your name And how easily you could control the whole game [Chorus] I fell in love with a reflection of me 'Cause you only shine when there’s someone to see You twist up the truth till I doubt what is real Blaming my heart for the pain that I feel I gave you my soul, but you wanted a stage Now I’m just a character trapped on your page Yeah, I fell in love with a narcissist Who loves their own shadow more than I could exist [Bridge] They warned me about you, but I couldn't see How someone so pretty could kill quietly You need an audience, you need the praise To feed the dark hunger that locks you in place But the spotlight is fading, the curtains will fall And a house built on ego has no floor at all [Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break] [Chorus] I fell in love with a reflection of me But I'm finally breaking the spell, can't you see?
