For the Lacy to my Cindy Lou Who, you're the real actress <3
Verse #1:
Shaky breaths fill the silence at night
Shaky breaths no one know are mine
Heart beating out of my chest
Anxiety is what my head does best
A close second is hiding
Pretending my fears aren't free and flying
Ill just keep on smiling
Chorus
I'm an actress
My brain says action and the magic happens
Tell my heart it's quiet on set
We have no time for a panic attack
The ratings are low but this is all we know
Let's show the people what they want as my noes grows
This is theater this is Broadway
I'm the leading lady, the Oscar nominated actress
Verse 2
Through the rain and cold and snow
I'll be here to put up show
Doesn't matte if you're sick
Hurry up and learn the script
Wish I had a stunt understudy
She up and left
Said something about how the pay wasn't worth the stress?
How unprofessional, guess I'll handle the rest
Chorus
I'm an actress
My brain says action and the magic happens
Tell my heart it's quiet on set
We have no time for a panic attack
The ratings are low but this is all we know
Let's show the people what they want as my noes grows
This is theater this is Broadway
I'm the leading lady, the Oscar nominated actress
Bridge:
Can't remember my lies
Can you tell I'm trying
Lost the script
On the inside, dying
Wish I could quit but my contracts written
The stage becomes a cage when you're the for all time
I'll spend the rest of my life
Skipping down the street of my demise
Its only when I cry and say I'm okay
That people realize I might be lying
Outro:
I love being an actress
I love the spotlight
Being someone else is fun one night
Once cried in performance
They all appreciate it when its fake
When its not they just let me break
I love being an actress
Just not all the time
Honestly this is my second least favorite. The first is burn. They're both so unpoetic and when there are some poetic parts, it just seems forced to me.
