[Prelude - Gentle electric guitar plucking with slow and steady drum beats, bass line low return] [Verse 1] The play in your eyes, I know it all too well From the camera lens to life, it's like a dress rehearsal Those carefully crafted lines, and your deliberate approach I sit here watching your earnest performance, a little helpless inside Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm unmoved, I've just seen through the script Even your nervous little gestures, they hint at a charming truth [Chorus] Don't tell me you love me, don't act so genuinely I'm not twenty, to fall for an illusion This industry has taught me too much about "people" Your childish tricks, in my eyes, are transparently cruel A voice in my heart whispers, "Don't get too deep" But sometimes, your innocent gaze makes me want to linger just a moment more [Verse 2] Perhaps you've been hurt too, that's why you wear a mask As a colleague, I understand your efforts for applause But that empathy doesn't mean I'll be blind Your eyes flicker, I read too much, I can't pretend to be naive Psychology is a big problem, I've flipped through a few books, once couldn't understand Only later did I realize, some pure innocence, hides within your smile [Chorus] Don't tell me you love me, don't act so genuinely I'm not twenty, to fall for an illusion This industry has taught me too much about "people" Your childish tricks, in my eyes, are transparently cruel A voice in my heart whispers, "Don't get too deep" But sometimes, your innocent gaze makes me want to linger just a moment more [Bridge - slightly more rhythmic, guitar solo with a touch of melancholy and strength] Vanity, desire, money, status – I no longer crave them They were once my armor, now they're just my weariness What I truly want is simple, yet you can't provide it A dose of honesty, a sense of responsibility, a courageous spirit A warm embrace, a stable sense of security These, more than any flowers or applause, bring peace to my heart [Chorus] Don't tell me you love me, don't act so genuinely I'm not twenty, to fall for an illusion This industry has taught me too much about "people" Your childish tricks, in my eyes, are transparently cruel A voice in my heart whispers, "Don't get too deep" But sometimes, your innocent gaze makes me want to linger just a moment more [Epilogue - The music fades, leaving only the gentle plucking of the electric guitar. The drum beats are sparse, and it ends with an uncertain chord.] Seeing through it all, only makes me lonelier In this grand play of life, who can truly, stay for me? *(A gentle sigh, or a faint smile)*
