"Love as Tragedy" by Alfa Garcia

Lyrics derived from listening by ear

------------------------------------------------------------------

Act 1 was brilliant

We played our part so

Convincing and I still remember the lines

You had me going on a first date and I felt

Like Icarus falling away from the sun.

Now that it’s over and done I noticed

You just needed someone to play your damsel

Now that I can see things a little clearer

I feel sorry for the next girl

And you will always see

You’ll always see love as tragedy

You, You’ll always see

You’ll always see love as tragedy

Act 2 was gripping

She came out of nowhere

Stored in a teacup, the irony there

And you seemed so honest, playing your part

So convincing that she is speaking my lines

Now that it’s over and done I noticed

You just needed someone to play your damsel

Now that I can see things a little clearer

I feel sorry for the next girl

And you will always see

You’ll always see love as tragedy

You, You’ll always see

You’ll always see love as tragedy

Now that it’s over and done I noticed

You just needed someone to play your damsel

Now that I can see things a little clearer

I feel sorry for the next girl

And you will always see

You’ll always see love as tragedy

You, You’ll always see

You’ll always see love as tragedy

Now that it’s over and done I noticed

You just needed someone to play your damsel

Now that I can see things a little clearer

I feel sorry for the next girl

And you will always see

You’ll always see love as tragedy

You, You’ll always see

You’ll always see love as tragedy

So don’t let me sit through another minute

‘cause Act 3’s the part I couldn’t get right

And you’ll be persistent ‘til somebody gets it

But I don’t intend to find out tonight
