Always wanted to play dress up
You be her
And he'll be me
Play the role
Dance the dance
I can close my eyes and see
I've never wanted to be myself
I suppose I don't know who he is
Lies will do just fine for now
I'll act my act while I add a smile
Until the lights go down as I take a bow
As long as I don't know them
They can't know me
For now I am anyone I want to be
What a perfect opportunity
Those pill bottles on the shelf
Well I guess that's who I am
Once he held his face up to the mirror
Did you catch how fast he ran?
Write the script
Believably
I'll read the lines
I'll live the life
As long as it isn't mine

This is great, I wonder how much of our lives we spend on script.
