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
