Looking back it seemed like fantasy
In your mind it felt like two could be
More than enough for you
But it wouldn’t do

Kicking back beneath those starry skies
He was lost in someone else's eyes
He was torn in two
With none for you

All along you knew it wouldn’t do
Floating in his mixed up lover’s stew
You can’t have your cake and eat it too
Now it’s time for something new

You never wanted anybody else to call the shots
But now you’re sleeping on your own and so the bed is hot
You never realized a tragedy had gone and dropped
It doesn’t matter now from here on out you call the shots

Through it all you waited patiently
Who could fall in love with pageantry
He told you where to go
That he didn’t show

He was out there fighting burning homes
While the fire inside him hadn’t glown
You held a burning glow
While he sizzled slow
And he probably didn’t even know
Just how far you wanted it to go
Can’t expect too much from average Joe
Now it’s time to take that throw

You never wanted anybody else to call the shots
But now you’re sleeping on your own and so the bed is hot
You never realized a tragedy had gone and dropped
It doesn’t matter now from here on out you call the shots

Long nights in the kitchen
Waiting for him to call
He’s open he’s itching
But you can’t count them all

Long fights on the cell phone
While time will slowly crawl
Time to call
Time to call the shots

You never wanted anybody else to call the shots
But now you’re sleeping on your own and so the bed is hot
You never realized a tragedy had gone and dropped
It doesn’t matter now from here on out you call the shots

It doesn’t matter now from here on out you call the shots
