Actress Lyrics

Settle down

Swore that we'd settle down

Pictures in a photo album, yeah

You said that you’d love me

Said that you'd love me always

Never doubt

You promised there was never doubt

We even planned on heading south, yeah

You told me you'd want me

You told me you'd want me always

I was never trying to play pretend

I only ever saw a friend

Who were you trying to impress?

You trying to impress?

Whilst I was giving you my best

Fuck I was living with an actress

She held my chest, said she loved me

But that was for the cameras above me

Above me

Whilst I was giving you my best

Fuck I was living with this actress

She stole my crest right in front of me

And then she sold it to the cameras above me, above me

Yellow lights

Why am I seeing yellow lights?

It’s like I really can’t decide, yeah

If you ever loved me, if you ever loved me at all

I, I wrote the lines for you to skit

But you read a different script

Why did you never quite confess?

Why did you not confess?

Whilst I was giving you my best

Fuck I was living with an actress

She held my chest, said she loved me

But that was for the cameras above me

Above me

Whilst I was giving you my best

Fuck I was living with this actress

She stole my crest right in front of me

And then she sold it to the cameras above me, above me

Hopes forged, hands tied, regret

Cheap words, How could I ever trust another?

Hopes forged, hands tied, reset

Lips slurred, Why would I ever be another lover?

Whilst I was giving you my best

Fuck I was living with an actress

She held my chest, said she loved me

But that was for the cameras above me

Above me

Whilst I was giving you my best

Fuck I was living with this actress

She stole my crest right in front of me

And then she sold it to the cameras above me, above me

Hopes forged, hands tied, regret

Cheap words, How could I ever trust another?

Hopes forged, hands tied, reset

Lips slurred, Why would I ever be another lover?
