[Verse 1] You say, "Are you okay?" I laugh, "I'm always fine" Sip my coffee, change the subject Cut the scene right on time I know where to place my hands I know when to hold your gaze Hit my mark, then hit my exit Fade to black, I walk away [Chorus] I'm an actor I can make you believe Every smile, every line Isn't breaking me Got a drawer full of masks I wear them like a habit You think you see the truth But I'm so good at it I'm an actor You just clap for the act You don't see the girl Who never comes back [Verse 2] I cry right on the cue But I never really cry I can shake, I can tremble While my heart stays dry In the mirror, every morning I rehearse that easy grin Powder over every bruise So you can't see the skin [Chorus] I'm an actor I can make you believe Every smile, every line Isn't breaking me Got a drawer full of masks I wear them like a habit You think you see the truth But I'm so good at it I'm an actor You just clap for the act You don't see the girl Who never comes back [Bridge] What if I miss my line Drop the script, forget my place Would you stay for the silence If the tears stained my face If I walked out in the daylight With nothing to distract Could you love me in the outtakes Not the final cut you have [Chorus] I'm an actor I can make you believe Every smile, every line Isn't breaking me Got a drawer full of masks But I'm so tired of the habit You think you know my heart You just know the jacket I'm an actor Taking one final bow Can you love the girl If I walk off now
