See what had happened was

You were taking classes in the valley acting like you cared and getting good

It was obvious

You just needed some more practice and someone

To practice on and there I stood

So you said those words we both knew you'd rehearsed 'em

By yourself at least a hundred times before

You're such a natural

It's hard to tell if you're just acting so let's run it all again just to be sure

Tell me your lines

Tell me your secrets and lies

Tell me the ones that you've tried that never worked

Tell me your lines

Tell me your sweet lullabies

Tell me the ones that I like or never heard

I know you play the part so well

And you need someone to help you run it

I know it's gonna hurt like hell

But at least this time I'll see it coming

We fell apart because

You moved somewhere close to Calabasas ain't been

But I know the neighborhood

Headshots over love

House of glass just like the movies picket fences no offense

There's splintered wood

You told me nothing hurts as much as you deserve

Wish you could go back to the way we were before

Tried to be casual

I think I know what you've been asking so let's run it all again just to be sure

Tell me your lines

Tell me your secrets and lies

Tell me the ones that you've tried that never worked

Tell me your lines

Tell me your sweet lullabies

Tell me the ones that I like or never heard

I know you play the part so well

And you need someone to help you run it

I know it's gonna hurt like hell

But at least this time I'll see it coming
