PHIE - Actress Lyrics

I don't want to be the girl left alone
Faded on the front steps
In a little black dress
On a Saturday night
But I don't want to be the girl who falls in love
Sucker for the wrong guy 'cause
He treats you real nice
While you're pretty and young
It's much easier to f*ck yourself
With drinks and drugs
Never get too close
Just play the role
Never need someone
I know what I do is dangerous
But if my heart breaks
I don't think it can take another one
It's much easier to fall in love
With sabotage
And I know it's wrong
But I've always been
Devoted to my loneliness and sin
No I don't need someone
Hold him like a dancer
Tell him he's the answer
Even though it's a lie
It's much easier
To play the part
And love him like an actress
Love him like an actress
The scene of us fades into view
In love and living on fifth avenue
You're at the cellar every night
Making everybody laugh the way you do
Fight it like a cancer
This strange desire
To not even try
Hold me like a dancer
I don't have the answers
Am I doing this right
It's much easier
When it comes to love
To play the part
But it's a lonely drug
Living like an actress
Like an actress
To love is madness
