Well you know that I compare you to someone I want more
And I can't make you promises I've broken once before
So take my presence lightly and listen with your eyes
And don't believe the actress when she cries
I paint my face each morning so you can't look right through
And I kiss another microphone and hope it gets to you
And I know you feel abandoned waving to the sky
But don't believe the actress when she cries
And the girl who cried piano is singing to the wolves
She's dressed up in her armour; her sword is made of words
And you'll forget you love her when she forgets her lines
So don't believe the actress, Oh don't believe the actress
Please don't believe the actress
when I cry
