"Romantic Comedies" lyrics

Not the lead not the center of the scenes
I'm the fool sitting in the back seat
Just a third wheel on the outside looking in
There's a boy well over 6 feet
And this girl looks at him like a masterpiece
And I'm the guy who's stuck in these deleted scenes

By the time the credits roll
I'll be home alone

Will I ever be the one pulled into love?
Scared to land the roll, I know I'd find a way to mess it up
So I avoid and I ignore any chance that leads to more
'Cause it doesn't always end so happily
In romantic comedies

I'm the punchline of every cheap joke
Flip the script but I'm still a footnote
I can try to change but I've been playing it so well
Sometimes I don't mind being lonely
But I'm tired of pretending I'm not open
To find someone who really knows me

By the time the credits roll
I'll be home alone

Will I ever be the one pulled into love?
Scared to land the roll, I know I'd find a way to mess it up
So I avoid and I ignore any chance that leads to more
'Cause it doesn't always end so happily
In romantic comedies

Oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah
Oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah
So I avoid and I ignore any chance that leads more
'Cause it doesn't always end so happily
In romantic comedies
