[Verse 1]
You were my Rock Hudson
It was real, but it wasn't
No, I never 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'?

[Pre-Chorus]
Happiness doesn't mean smilin' when it's your scene
You said we were doin' fine as you set the whole place on fire
I tried everything, turns out we can't compete
Oh, reality is never quite as good as the dream

[Chorus]
No, I won't dance anymore
No, I won't put on a show
And you can blame it on me
I don't care what they think
No, I won't let you control
No, I won't be what you want
And you can blame it on me
I don't care what you think
[Verse 2]
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 were all I wanted
But now you're gone and
What good's a promise
If you're never really honest?

[Chorus]
No, I won't dance anymore
No, I won't put on a show
And you can blame it on me
I don't care what they think
No, I won't let you control
No, I won't be what you want
And you can blame it on me
I don't care what you think

[Bridge]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Happiness doesn't mean smilin' when it's your scene
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?

[Chorus]
No, I won't dance anymore
No, I 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)
No, I won't let you control
No, 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 you think)

[Outro]
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
