lyrics

If it was all an act, we were actor and actress
taking tiny toy guns out for target practice
blanks in the chamber go boom when finally fired
If it was all a scene, these costumes convinced
now they're in wardrobe, ain't been seen since
oh, beg me not to blame you for the way you're wired

If I'm missing you,
it's not because my aim is low
If I'm missing you,
it's because I'm letting us go
You're dead to me, but I'm not haunted
just so you know this ain't a goodbye kiss
so much as one of us might've wanted
with me it'll never be hit or miss

If it was all a role, well, bless your heart and soul
quiet on the set, cue every line you remembered to forget
high-caliber punch-ups delivered as part of the plot
don't mind me darling I'll be sitting over there
with my name on the back of my chair
glass in my hand raised in the air for the martini shot

If I'm missing you,
it's not because my aim is high
If I'm missing you
it's only because I'm saying goodbye
You're only dead to me, I'm not haunted
just so you know this ain't a goodbye kiss
so much as one of us might've wanted
with me it'll never be hit or miss

Every time you tried to land a heavy hand on me
those pads and cushions helped with the pushing
They built in the distance now widening between
no more soothing or hushing your panting and rushing
Seeing you is my last hope at the other end of my scope
You got caught slippin', now you're fading out of frame
what a shame
