Standing on that stage, I finally let my truth be heard, each lyric unraveling the years of silence between us. And as my voice filled the room, carrying every wound, every fight, every lie, he sat there—Mr. Wonderful—watching the empire of his control crumble beneath the weight of my song.
Lyrics
Mr. Wonderful
(Written by Cynthia Beckstead © 2020, All rights reserved.)
I feel like I’m walking in circles.
It seems life changes direction.
And I can’t, stay, grounded… ANYMORE.
I’ve been here before.
Recognize everything that’s happening to me.
Compromise all that we’re fighting for,
And I don’t, believe, in happy endings… ANYMORE.
I’ve heard it all before.
Waste my time no longer,
I can’t confide, in someone whose,
So full of pride, I have too,
Fight… to stay… alive.
And how… could… you ever be wrong.
You’re Mr. Wonderful.
And do, you; feel wonderful.
Now that you’re alone.
Take your hand and wave it at someone else,
If you can stop all the screaming.
And I won’t, blame, myself for this… ANYMORE.
You’ve done this before!
I feel fine now that I hollow inside,
In this wake discover that it’s your mistake.
And I won’t, put, myself through this… ANYMORE.
Just walk out that door.
Waste my time no longer,
I can’t confide, in someone whose,
So full of pride, I have too,
Fight… to stay… alive.
And how… could… you ever be wrong.
You’re Mr. Wonderful.
And do, you; feel wonderful.
Now that you’re alone.
You say that your wrong… that your sorry.
You tell me I’m wrong… that we’re meant to be.
Waste my time no longer,
I can’t confide, in someone whose,
So full of pride, I have too,
Fight… to stay… alive.
And how… could… you ever be wrong.
You’re Mr. Wonderful.
And do, you; feel wonderful.
Now that you’re alone.
