In the theater of my mind
You're always in the spotlight
Every memory, every scene
Playing on repeat each night
Though our love's a fading star
It still shines so bright
I keep holding on, hoping
Someday things'll be right
I hope to the strangers I'll never meet
You'll speak of me like I speak of you so sweet
Though our love may be through
I still hold onto hope, that's true
I hope you talk about me
Like I talk about you
You were the melody to my every song
But now our duet's over
And I'm left singing alone
Yet I can't help but praise you
Can't bring myself to wrong
Even as the pain of your absence cuts to the bone
I hope to the strangers I'll never meet
You'll speak of me like I speak of you so sweet
Though our love may be through
I still hold onto hope, that's true
I hope you talk about me
Like I talk about you
You were the melody to my every song
But now our duet's over
And I'm left singing alone
Yet I can't help but praise you
Can't bring myself to wrong
Even as the pain of your absence cuts to the bone
Oh, how I wish for you to find your peace
Even if it means painting me as the villain, the least
I'll bear the burden
I'll carry the blame
If it means you'll heal and find joy again
I hope to the strangers I'll never meet
You'll speak of me like I speak of you so sweet
Though our love may be through
I still hold onto hope, that's true
I hope you talk about me
Like I talk about you
So let the curtain fall
Let our story end
But I'll keep singing of you
My dear old friend
For in the silence of the night
And the whisper of the dew
I'll pray for the day you'll talk about me
Like I talk about you
