[Verse 1]
Been a while since we talked
But don't think that I forgot the plans you made for me
Have you had enough to drink?
And did you take some time to think of what you'd do to me?

[Chorus]
That's right
We don't talk about anything real
That's right
You don't think of how I might feel
But I guess I should know it by now
That I'll be the part of the story that gets written out
Mmm yeah

[Verse 2]
From the corners of the room
Have we stayed for long enough that they might start to talk?
Mmm, is that what's been worrying you?
That you'll wander long enough that you might start to walk?

[Chorus]
That's right
I'm just making moves on your time
That's right
Under bleachers on 50-yard lines
Meanwhile, she will lay her hand right where mine used to be
I should know it by now
That I'll be the part of the story that gets written out, mmm
[Bridge]
It's always whatever you need, whatever you want
Whatever part of me turns you on
Erase me now
I find ways to lessen my hopes and soften the blow
But I know you want me, you told me so
Erase me now

[Chorus]
That's right
We don't talk about anything real
That's right
You don't think of how I must feel
But I guess I should know it by now
That I'm just the part of the story that gets written out
