lyrics

Real Born Tragic

Sometimes when you look twice
Your reflection is so nice
Like a winning card or a dice
Rolling on a run
And other days my friend
There’s a wall or a complete end
To the happy times you’d spend
Roaming on your own

Here we go
Bright lights shine
For the show
We stand in line

Give me some heartbreak with a little magic
Entertain me like a real born tragic
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

I’ll lose myself like a true romantic
When you act like a real born tragic
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh

Right inside that theme
Is a storyline that screams
And a character who seems
Like she might end it all

And deep within that rage
Right up on that stage
Like a mirror we can see
That we’re all the same

Here we go
Bright lights shine
For the show
We stand in line

Give me some heartbreak with a little magic
Entertain me like a real born tragic
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh


I’ll lose myself like a true romantic
When you act like a real born tragic
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh

I know, I know, I know, I’m gonna get my fingers burned
I know, I know, I know, I’m gonna get my money’s worth
I know, I know, I know, I’m gonna thank you for the show

Give me some heartbreak with a little magic
Entertain me like a real born tragic
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

I’ll lose myself like a true romantic
When you act like a real born tragic
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

When you act like a real born tragic
When you act like a real born tragic…
