Amelia Lyrics

Amelia

You are a movie star

Tugging on some heart strings just so you can pay the bills

Your cryin' eyes

Easily synthesized

Stare vacant at the city from your home set deep in the hills

Pacific queen

Set on a silver screen

Only real in photographs, hiding in another's skin

Fake identities

In false realities

Certain of your sentiments as long as they are not your own

But all of your fruit is in season

And your body gets younger each day

But when you recite your lines in the mirror your find

You haven't been yourself much today

Nothing came together like it did on screen

Somewhere all the passion became apathy

A look behind the camera killed the mystery

You're better off living in a childhood dream

Your misery

Is frowned upon you see

When you're the one they turn to to temper all their own

No sympathy

Just stares of jealousy

You'd fill them up with wonder if you'd just play along

But sorrow is only too common

For the glamour of those magazines

And where's the appeal in the way that you feel

If you can't make it glisten and gleam?

Nothing came together like it did on screen

Somewhere all the passion became apathy

A look behind the camera killed the mystery

You're better off living in a childhood dream

There's a hundred people to take your place

And a hundred more you'll always chase

So if you don't believe any words that you say

Just say 'em like you will someday

Nothing came together like it did on screen

Somewhere all the passion became apathy

A look behind the camera killed the mystery

You're better off living in a childhood dream
