Stole The Show
KygoThe singer wrote this ballad using a triumphant theater show as a metaphor for the ending of a great relationship.
He recalled to VMan:
"Everyone was begging me to write a ballad, and I was not trying to write one because I didn't think I had been in love before. But I wrote this ballad, it was about this guy that I was not in a relationship with, and pretended like we were. We would just be with each other when it was convenient."

Darling, darling, oh,
turn the lights back on now
Watching, watching,
as the credits all roll down
Crying, crying,
you know we're playing to a full house, house
No heroes, villains, one to blame
While wilted roses fill the stage
And the thrill, the thrill is gone
Our debut was a masterpiece
But in the end for you and me
Oh, the show, it can't go on
We used to have it all,
but now's our curtain call
So hold for the applause, oh
And wave out to the crowd,
and take our final bow
Oh, it's our time to go,
but at least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
Darling, darling,
you know that we are sold out
This is fading, but the band plays on now
We're crying, crying,
so let the velvet roll down, down
No heroes, villains, one to blame
While wilted roses fill the stage
And the thrill, the thrill is gone
Our debut was a masterpiece
Our lines we read so perfectly
But the show, it can't go on
We used to have it all,
but now's our curtain call
So hold for the applause, oh
And wave out to the crowd,
and take our final bow
Oh, it's our time to go,
but at least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
Stole the show
At least we stole the show
Stole the show
At least we stole the show
