Of all the wrong things I've done
Wrong choices, wrong turns
And all that I've become

Please, God, I'm begging You
Don't let him be one
I wrote the score, just before You heard it

I have the notes; I know every line
I know my part; I'm just the curtain girl
I have no skills to speak of

He sings for me, beneath the spotlight

I don't know myself; who's that girl in the white dress,

Pretending to care and laughing with her friends?
Please, God, I'm begging You
Watch me when I sleep

I've signed my will, and still, I can't leave him here
I've sold my place; I'm just the girl upstairs
Whose past is so forgotten

He waits for me, beneath the streetlight

And hide-and-seek is not a game

That a big girl should be playing
I just don't have the time anymore


I left my heart on Main Street
Just so it couldn't bother me or hurt me
I couldn't bear the lovesick heartbeat

Please, God, I'm begging You
Keep him from me, at least for now
He's just too close to me, too far from You

I'll leave him here; I know
You'll take care of him
And maybe when I'm older

He'll dance with me beneath the moonlight
