Tonight, your name is Charlotte
In a play within a play
She tells her husband that she's happy
But she's planning her escape
God, you make it look so easy
I forget it isn't real
That's why you think nobody trusts you
To say how you really feel
They showed your paintings to a doctor
When you were acting out
Throwing money at a problem
They couldn’t talk about
I followed you to San Francisco
So you could finish your degree
Got a job painting houses
A couple days a week
I go out with the guys on Sundays
Don't know if I would call 'em friends
And when I finally found my footing
The offers started pouring in
This is where it all begins
You got your lucky break
I will always be the one
That got out of your way
Mmm
