Jane discovers Ed has had a girlfriend in the city the entire time. He insists that he’s not in love with her.
lyrics
Look at this blank canvas
Caught a snag and it’s wrecked
I still see outlines of
The things that could have been
The way you tilt your head
Your face in half-darkness
Was never mine to have
Wasn’t it?
Ed: Janie, I swear I can fix this mess
Jane: Tattered to shreds, me and all the rest
Oh what a masterpiece
That you and I have made
Ed: Janie, don’t go, if you’ll only listen
Jane: There were so many times you could’ve, but
Like chiaroscuro you
Obscured the harder parts
All the shadows in this empty castle
Have been cast in plaster,
Brought into the light
I won’t be the saint in chiaroscuro
To your Caravaggio
I live in the light
So now it must be me
Who tears our tangled strings
Who plucks my own eye out
And cuts off my own hand
If only we had met
In some other circumstance
It’d be a different dance
Wouldn’t it?
Ed: You have no clue what she’s put me through
Jane: Wish I did, love, it’s a bit late now
Like chiaroscuro you
Obscured the harder parts
Ed: It doesn’t have to end this way
Jane: I don’t know, sure, I just need some space
Oh what a masterpiece
That you and I have made
All the shadows in this empty castle
Have been cast in plaster,
Brought into the light
I won’t be the saint in chiaroscuro
To your Caravaggio
I live in the light
All the shadows in this empty castle
Have been cast in plaster,
Brought into the light
I won’t be the saint in chiaroscuro
To your Caravaggio
I live in the light
