Footnote

Nicolas Chamillet

Compositor: Nicolas Chamillet

When I went into the library and found a romance book
I was hooked, I wanted to read it all the time
But when I got to chapter 18 and saw that the protagonist kissed his lover
I remembered our love story
When I saw you kiss him, I saw myself as the character who was betrayed

But he was just a secondary character
And it's not always like that in books
When they are in a love triangle
If one character stands out more than the other
It is discarded on one page

And it's like this, I'm just a footnote in our love story
Your: Tuesday therapy became your partner in the last pages
I saw myself losing the spotlight, I saw myself becoming a supporting character
You seemed bewitched, mesmerized
What does he have that I don't have?
Damn, this is our story, our love story
I don't deserve a footnote
And the times I wonder if you know this or not

At first it seemed like a fairy tale
But I didn't know this would be the plot twist
It was like a stab, it was like breaking the spine of a new book
It was like leaving an incredible book on the shelf
Did you read the book when I was dying in the prologue
You laughed psychotically, it hurt, it hurt
My heart wasn't beating anymore, you tried to find my pulse
But you and I know it was all an act

And it's like this, I'm just a footnote in our love story
Your: Tuesday therapy became your partner in the last pages
I saw myself losing the spotlight, I saw myself becoming a supporting character
You seemed bewitched, mesmerized
What does he have that I don't have?
Damn, this is our story, our love story
I don't deserve a footnote
And the times I wonder if you know this or not

Our book was 365 pages in total
One year, that was the total time we spent together
But it was all mathematically calculated
That was it, that was the end of our story
And when I reread our book
Some things already showed what would happen
I just accepted that this was destiny
And it was like this, the best fucking pain I've ever felt
But it wasn't the same with you

And it's like this, I'm just a footnote in our love story
Your: Tuesday therapy became your partner in the last pages
I saw myself losing the spotlight, I saw myself becoming a supporting character
You seemed bewitched, mesmerized
What does he have that I don't have?
Damn, this is our story, our love story
I don't deserve a footnote
And the times I wonder if you know this or not
