all the time
i'm like a moth
Addicted to your love
to the flame
it ain't funny no more
it's such a disaster
my heart can't beat faster
mending broken hearts
is like a puzzle
curtain call
don't wanna be still in love with you
here are my last words we are through
prediction from the past
here cast a shadow
it's curtain call
don't wanna be still in love with you
here are my last words we are through
we are through
we are through
we are through
we are through

oh so dangerous
now im driving away
its time to be courageous
mending broken hearts

The lyrics to "Curtain Call" by Steed Lord depict a relationship that has come to an end, but the singer is still struggling to let go. The first stanza describes the singer's addiction to the love they once had, but now it's become a disaster and they need to move on. The second stanza talks about how messages on their phone were once exciting, but now the singer sees it as just storytelling, and they need to be courageous and drive away. The chorus repeats the idea that "mending broken hearts is like a puzzle" and that it's a curtain call for the relationship, with the singer saying their last words that they're through.
The song uses the metaphor of a curtain call, which traditionally marks the end of a performance, to show that this relationship has reached its conclusion. The repeated line about mending broken hearts being like a puzzle emphasizes the difficulty in moving on, as though it's taking the singer a long time to put all the pieces back together. The overall message seems to be that the singer knows it's time to move on and say their goodbyes, but it's still painful and difficult.
