about

Troubled starlet Vivien Leigh struggles to keep herself together as the 30 year romance between her and Laurence Olivier finally ends.

lyrics

Breathe in, don’t just break down
Hold tight, let the air out
Your true love has walked out the door

Just another scandal
It’s nothing he can’t handle
But me, I may collapse to the floor

Spied my luminary
Said “That’s the man I’ll marry”
There, backstage, you heeded my call

But it was founded on lies
Tears our spouses both cried
And now it’s time to pay for it all

And there goes another marriage
I sense we’re both to blame
But I never once lied in my heart, could you tell me the same?
Was I too much to manage?
Was it all for your career?
At times I’ve wished to die or disappear
But I’m not sorry I’m here

Technicolor gaslights
Each role mirroring life
I fear Blanche is living through me

When the curtain falls
To thunderous applause
It’s always comes after tragedy

And now the second act’s unfolding
Cue heartbreak and neglect
The rivalries, the pregnancies, it ends how you’d expect
But it can’t be a failure if it’s lasted 30 years
Surrender to the script or persevere
I’m not sorry I’m here

And everything’s easy when you don’t care
But you had to make me care about you
We gave it all to feed the grandeur of our dreams
Guess that’s the price of youth

Our love may have mutated
But our time wasn’t wasted
It matters not how our story ends

The only failed romances
Are the squandered chances
Ones that never get to even begin

And ours will last forever, on the silver screen
Scandalous and gloriously real in every scene
Does it make it all worth if they’ll tell our tale for years?
All signs point to the ending being near
But I’m not sorry I’m here

I’m not sorry I’m here
