Scripts ft. Ellie Wyatt Lyrics

Expectations burning in my chest

I'm waiting for those perfect lines

But you get what you get

Leading ladies breathing down my neck

So well rehearsed and in control

While I'm a nervous wreck

Coz I've been breaking glasses

Like I've been breaking hearts

Trying to tell you how I'm feeling

Is like reading in the dark

And I know

Scripts make every word

Sound beautiful

But I've got nothing to follow

Nothing to follow

And I will say the wrong thing

Every time but now I know

The cliche you wanna hear

Is nothing but hollow

A hundred times I practiced then forgot

I stuttered then I missed my cue

And now the timing's lost

Gave my best performance just to

Find my scene got cut

I tried to play the part

But good's not good enough

Coz I've been breaking glasses

Like I've been breaking hearts

Trying to tell you how I'm feeling

Is like reading in the dark

And I know

Scripts make every word

Sound beautiful

But I've got nothing to follow

Nothing to follow

I'm just a girl who's

Trying to love you

In spite of the issues

I'm just a girl who's

Trying to love you

In spite of myself

I should say something

But I say nothing

Oh it's paralysing

I should say something

But I say nothing

I'm hurting myself

I'm not the actress on your screen

I'm not the flawless Hollywood dream

Repeating my lines

Going over and over

And still I don't know what they mean oh

Scripts make every word

Sound beautiful

But I've got nothing to follow

Nothing to follow

And I will say the wrong thing

Every time, but now I know

The cliche you wanna hear

Is nothing but hollow
