the actor

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Everything you say sounds like a lie Everything you say and I know why 'Cause you say it with your mouth and not your eyes And I can't tell if you even realize This is not the slow dance you fantasized It never was [Verse 2] I am not the person in your head But I was still created for a test The variables tell me how to act And sing and dance and cry and scream and laugh To be a human in your arms, at that Is that so bad? [Chorus] And when you see me on the big screen, on the TV Are you looking at me? Watching, looking closely, pay attention I'm your favorite movie When you know the script like it's your own life You can mouth the words And when you say you love me, do you mean it? 'Cause you sound so unsure Lately all the ratings, they've been falling 'Cause the acting's getting Lazy, unrealistic, 'cause the actor is distracted [Verse 3] I am not against a change of faith But I know that you know that I'm too weak To do it all again, this stupid song And coordinated nation-sweeping dance At the very least, I had a chance Can we stay friends? [Chorus] And when you see me on the big screen, on the TV Are you looking at me? Watching, looking closely, pay attention I'm your favorite movie When you know the script like it's your own life You can mouth the words And when you say you love me, do you mean it? 'Cause you sound so unsure Lately all the ratings, they've been falling 'Cause the acting's getting Lazy, unrealistic, 'cause the actor is distracted [Bridge] Tell me, do you want me? Do you think I'm worth your time? Oh, please just tell me Maybe someday isn't as far away as it seems Or maybe it lives in my dreams Tell me, do you want me? Do you think I'm worth your time? Oh, please just tell me Maybe someday isn't as far away as it seems Or maybe it lives in my dreams [Verse 4] Tell me, do you want me? Do you think I'm worth your time? Oh, please just tell me Maybe someday isn't as far away as it seems Or maybe it lives in my dreams Tell me, do you love me? If you mean it, live your life And if that means that you're not a soulmate You're a best friend, I guess that's alright with me But God, my heart hurts as it beats (Oh) [Chorus] And when you see me on the big screen, on the TV Are you looking at me? Watching, looking closely, pay attention I'm your favorite movie When you know the script like it's your own life You can mouth the words And when you say you love me, do you mean it? 'Cause you sound so unsure Lately all the ratings, they've been falling 'Cause the acting's getting Lazy, unrealistic, 'cause the actor is addicted
