The Magician's Assistant

She waltzed in and stole the show
Took everything I lived for
You left me hanging, Hon, don’t ya know
It’s late: I’m walking out the door

Can’t stand to see her work her spells
Try her tricks; nothing’s different
They say magicians never tell
But how about assistants

She’s got ya wrapped around her little finger
You’re nothing but her pawn in operation
Me and you, we’re traveling strangers
Lost in transit between lonely stations

But I believe, some day, some how
You’re gonna get what you signed up for
Babe, it ain’t coming for you now
So please, darling, forget her

Here I am, forgotten, dismissed
She stole my glory
The way you act, boy, it gets me pissed
You won’t hear out my story

We had our time, our chances
It’s over, let’s face it
We’ve talked the talks, danced the dances
Together let’s erase it

Falling for the magician’s trick
You sold your soul
Honey, I’m finished, it’s making me sick
It’s time I made me whole

Can’t stand to see her work her spells
Try her tricks; nothing’s different
They say magicians never tell
But how about assistants
