The Actress

I'm not okay
But you think I am
I know what to say
And what lines to bend
I've got stories for days
Looks like it's going so well
And the picture I paint with a smile on my face
You'd never tell
The curtain gets called
Girl, turn it on

Yeah I'm an actress
I put on a show
That's where I shine
That's all I know
So you play the fool
And I'll avoid the truth
And we'll go around and around
'Cause that's what we know how to do
Yeah I'm an actress

Another party
Another day in the life
Another phone call, another close call
Everything's fine
But spirits get mixed
And this is fixed
But prescription bottles won't heal this
Keep it light
I swear I'm alright

Yeah I'm an actress
I put on a show
That's where I shine
That's all I know
So you play the fool
And I'll avoid the truth
And we'll go around and around
'Cause that's what we know how to do
Yeah I'm an actress

Little do you know
When I go to bed
I wrestle with voices inside my head
And all of the things I want to say go left unsaid

But I'm a good actress
It's one hell of a show
I say what you need to hear
But I'll let you go

So you play the fool
And I'll play it cool
We'll go around and around long enough to avoid the truth
Yeah I'm an actress

Yeah I'm good, how are you?
So glad you're fine too
