Act The Part

I'm a little selfish with a lot to give

I'm a broken bone

I'm a losing bid

I know

You want me in, in my place

I am damaged bliss

I'm an unknown voice

Make you feel less alone

But I'm not your toy

I know you want me out, out of your face

I can smile for the camera

I can feed you my heart

I can lie laughing at you

I can act my part

And it's not the way I wanted it to be

But no one ever asked me

So I smile for the camera

And I act my part

Under my skin written in my blood

There's a secret I keep

It's the mask you love

I know you don't know me at all

I'm a little bit bruised

Living in the lies

But you hunger for more

Not the pain, my disguise

I'll be your fight, be your fall

I can smile for the camera

I can feed you my heart

I can lie laughing at you

I can act my part

And it's not the way I wanted it to be

But no one ever asked me

So I smile for the camera

And I act my part

And under everything I hide away

Buried deep, another face

All the secrets you will never know

I can smile for the camera

I can feed you my heart

I can lie laughing at you

I can act my part

And it's not the way I wanted it to be

But no one ever asked me

So I smile for the camera

And I act my part
