Scripts (Candlelight Mix)

Expectations burning in my chest You're 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 But 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
