You were my Rock Hudson
It was real, but it wasn't
No one ever saw it comin'
I was never what you want, and

Like a real-life movie
Didn't think it'd happen to me
Guess it didn't you just fooled me
Who knew love was so confusin'

Happiness doesn't need
Smiling when it's just seen
You said we were too advantaged
You said, "Go home play some guy"

I tried everything
Turns out we can't compete
Oh, reality is never clad as good as the dream
Though we won't dance anymore

We won't put on a show
And you can blame it on me
I don't care what they think
Though I won't let you control

Though I won't be what you want
And you can blame it on me
I don't care what you think
From the moment I saw you

I had never felt I could choose
It was always gonna be you
Even when they told me not to
You are all I wanted

But now you're gone and
What's good's a promise
If you're never really honest?
Though we won't dance anymore

We won't put on a show
And you can blame it on me
I don't care what they think
Though I won't let you control

Though I won't be what you want
And you can blame it on me
I don't care what you think
By the way, piece by piece

I found out my hero's me
By the way, piece by piece
I found out my hero's me
Happiness doesn't need

Smiling when it's just seen
You made sure to keep me small enough to keep me in between
Should I stay, should I leave?
Could I ever compete with the bar you set so high

That you could never even reach?
Though we won't dance anymore
We won't put on a show
And you can blame it on me (You can blame it on me)

I don't care what they think (I don't care what they think)
Though I won't let you control
Though I won't be what you want
And you can blame it on me (You can blame it on me)

I don't care what you think (I don't care what they think)
By the way, piece by piece
I found out my hero's me
By the way, piece by piece

I found out my hero's me
