Actress

Perfect eyes and perfect teeth
She's all I want and want to be
But something lies there underneath
Something I'm not meant to see
The way she'll wrap her laugh in lies
The way she'll act so surprised
When you see through her disguise

Yeah she's an actress but she don't get paid in money
She deals in broken hearts that's her currency
Sometimes I wish that I had seen behind the curtain
And not what's on the screen

Wish I never stepped onto that stage
Wish I hadn't been part of her play
If I hadn't made such a scene
Would she still be here next to me

If she's the beauty I'm the beast
Or so she'd lead you to believe
That I'm the source of suffering
I'm the only one to blame
The way that her love treated me
Like one of Shakespeare's tragedies
I fall underneath

Wish I never stepped onto that stage
Wish I hadn't been part of her play
If I hadn't made such a scene
Would she still be here next to me

Every line so well rehearsed
She sure knew how to choose her words
I feel bad and she makes it worse
This love into a curse

Wish I never stepped onto that stage
Wish I hadn't been part of her play
If I hadn't made such a scene
Would she still be here next to me
Wish I never stepped onto that stage
Wish I hadn't been part of her play
If I hadn't made such a scene
Would she still be here next to me

Yeah she's an actress but she don't get paid in money
She deals in broken hearts
She deals in broken hearts
Yeah she's an actress but she don't get paid in money
She deals in broken hearts
She deals in broken hearts
