Scripts

Expectations burning in my chest
I'm waiting for those perfect lines
But you get what you get
Leading ladies breathing down my neck
So well rehearsed and in control
While I'm a nervous wreck

Coz I've been breaking glasses
Like I've been breaking hearts
Trying to tell you how I'm feeling
Is like reading in the dark
And I know

Scripts make every word
Sound beautiful
But I've got nothing to follow
Nothing to follow
And I will say the wrong thing
Every time but now I know
The cliche you wanna hear
Is nothing but hollow

A hundred times I practiced then forgot
I stuttered then I missed my cue
And now the timing's lost
Gave my best performance just to
Find my scene got cut
I tried to play the part
But good's not good enough

Coz I've been breaking glasses
Like I've been breaking hearts
Trying to tell you how I'm feeling
Is like reading in the dark
And I know

Scripts make every word
Sound beautiful
But I've got nothing to follow
Nothing to follow

I'm just a girl who's
Trying to love you
In spite of the issues
I'm just a girl who's
Trying to love you
In spite of myself
I should say something
But I say nothing
Oh it's paralysing
I should say something
But I say nothing
I'm hurting myself

I'm not the actress on your screen
I'm not the flawless Hollywood dream
Repeating my lines
Going over and over
And still I don't know what they mean oh

Scripts make every word
Sound beautiful
But I've got nothing to follow
Nothing to follow
And I will say the wrong thing
Every time, but now I know
The cliche you wanna hear
Is nothing but hollow
