Heartache on the Big Screen

Album: She Looks So Perfect (2014)

  • Started out like in the movies
    But it ended like a bad dream
    Curtain opened, heard the crowd roar
    This one's a repeat, seen it before

    Rewind to the start before it all went wrong
    What's going on?

    Fast forward to the end, after everyone's gone home, oh

    And they've forgotten it all

    This ain't a movie that I wanna see
    A tragic story, starring you and me
    Yell "cut", we're stuck inside this scene
    This is heartache on the big screen
    The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time
    The camera's rolling, and I forgot my lines
    My script is ripped and now I see

    This is heartache on the big screen
    This is heartache on the big screen

    Curtain closes on this cliché
    A good story of a bad day
    Back to square one, where I started
    As I stand here, broken hearted

    Fast forward to the end, after everyone's gone home, oh

    And they have forgotten it all

    This ain't a movie that I wanna see
    A tragic story, starring you and me
    Yell "cut", we're stuck inside this scene
    This is heartache on the big screen
    The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time
    The camera's rolling, and I forgot my lines
    My script is ripped and now I see

    This is heartache on the big screen

    If Hollywood could see me now
    I'd get the starring role
    But they won't so I'll just keep on acting a fool

    This ain't a movie that I wanna see
    A tragic story, starring you and me
    Yell "cut", we're stuck inside this scene
    Yeah

    The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time
    The camera's rolling, and I forgot my lines
    My script is ripped and now I see

    This is heartache on the big screen
    This is heartache on the big screen
