First I bring them in with charming smiles and witty banter,

Comments covered with apologies and glamour

The line is long

Of people waiting to be my number one

But behind the scenes,

Cutting ribbons is never what it means

And I don’t know why I love my toys

Because my grip has never been enough to be a rock climbers

I wrote a play in my mind and there’s always drama

So, maybe the endless line turned out to be just you,

And listening in I think I hear my cue.

You’ve been a little more distant lately.

Maybe.

You take a step forwards and I take one back

Even though I want to get closer

Wanna have what we used to have

Acted a little cold so you’d get desperate

I want you to need me,

I need you to want me,

So you don’t go away

I’m what you made me

I’m an actress

You can’t honestly expect honesty

We act when we’re not happy with ourselves

At least that’s how I justify it

And I’m rambling like the calculated mess of a mad woman

I don’t know how much of this is my truth and how much is yours,

But I can always pull together when it’s time to go on stage, and I think I can play the part of you better than you could
