  • You were my Rock Hudson
    It was real but it wasn't
    No one ever saw it comin'
    I was never what you want, and
    Like a real-life movie
    Didn't think it'd happen to me
    Guess it didn't, you just fooled me
    Who knew love was so confusin'

    Happiness doesn't mean
    Smilin' when it's your scene
    You said we were doin' fine as you set the whole place on fire
    I tried everything
    Turns out we can't compete
    Oh, reality is never quite as good as the dream

    No, I won't dance anymore
    No, I won't put on a show
    And you can blame it on me
    I don't care what they think
    No, I won't let you control
    No, I won't be what you want
    And you can blame it on me
    I don't care what you think

    From the moment I saw you
    I had never felt I could choose
    It was always gonna be you
    Even when they told me not to
    You were all I wanted
    But now you're gone and
    What's good's a promise
    If you're never really honest?

    No, I won't dance anymore
    No, I won't put on a show
    And you can blame it on me
    I don't care what they think
    No, I won't let you control
    No, I won't be what you want
    And you can blame it on me
    I don't care what you think

    By the way, piece by piece
    I found out my hero's me
    By the way, piece by piece
    I found out my hero's me

    Happiness doesn't mean
    Smilin' when it's your scene
    You made sure to keep me small enough to keep me in between
    Should I stay? Should I leave?
    Could I ever compete
    With the bar you set so high that you could never even reach?

    No, I won't dance anymore
    No, I won't put on a show
    And you can blame it on me (you can blame it on me)
    I don't care what they think (I don't care what they think)
    No, I won't let you control
    No, I won't be what you want
    And you can blame it on me (you can blame it on me)
    I don't care what you think (I don't care what you think)

    By the way, piece by piece
    I found out my hero's me
    By the way, piece by piece
    I found out my hero's me Writer/s: Jesse Samuel Shatkin, Kelly Brianne Clarkson
