purple rose

When I say that I'm feeling fine
All I need is a lifeline
'Cause I've been shaking hands and smiling
But I've been lonely for some time
People love being around me
But that's just for a brief time
There's so much about me
They don't see
Do they even mind?

People move so fast
I'm standing still
They're free but I'm trapped
The audience at the movie
They leave at the end
I can't join them
Am I the movie myself? (Myself)

I'm stuck but no one knows
It feels like I'm in Woody's Purple Rose
They all see me
But they're not here to save me
Is this how it's supposed to be
I'm trapped behind the screen
But no one's here to free me
All I can see is movie seats
Am I in Woody's Purple Rose?

Hard to say if this is real life
Or a bad dream that stabs me like a knife
Same people, same ol' stuff
It feels like prison
Though I'm not handcuffed
It all seems the same and haunts me
I tried to evade
But I'm not free
It's endless but just for me
It never changes
Why can't you see?

People move so fast
I'm standing still
They're free but I'm trapped
The audience at the movie
They leave at the end
I can't join them
Am I the movie myself? (Myself)

I'm stuck but no one knows
It feels like I'm in Woody's Purple Rose
They all see me
But they're not here to save me
Is this how it's supposed to be
I'm trapped behind the screen
But no one's here to free me
All I can see is movie seats
Am I in Woody's Purple Rose?
