"The Protagonist" lyrics

To where did your kindness extend
Two bruises on my neck? A night in your bedroom
No matter, I take no offense
Because pain can't affect me the way it affects you

So if I hurt you, you can call me cruel
And when you hurt me, you can change that rule
I'm only here to entertain you
When you're lonely at night

You leave the room, and it ceases to exist
You're the only man alive, you are the protagonist
Do as you please, yours is the only narrative
Nothing matters except for your happiness

Treat me like I'm your possession
Something new for your collection
Nobody is real, you are the only exception
You are God's divine selection
You're the one, you're the one
How does it feel to be the only one to feel?
To be the only one to feel

You leave the room, and it ceases to exist
You're the only man alive, you are the protagonist
Do as you please, yours is the only narrative
Nothing matters except for your happiness
Nothing matters except for your happiness
Nothing matters when you're the protagonist

Wait, excuse my sentience
I am talking out of turn
I'm an actress with a script
Not an extra without words
And I can go out by myself
And I can meet somebody else
Put my hand around their heart
And I can rip the whole thing out
And I will only call them up
When I'm hungry for affection
Then I'll look into their eyes
And see only my reflection
And I'll never look back
And I'll never feel regret
When I leave them in the morning
But what did they expect?

I leave the room, and it ceases to exist
I'm the only man alive, I am the protagonist
Do as I please, mine is the only narrative
Nothing matters except for my happiness
