The Actress Lyrics by Gray Thomas

Somewhere Warmer

2020

I know why, I know what for
But I don't know where you are now
You just went, you wouldn't say
And I wish you would have stayed
But I know, that you can't
That's okay, yeah that's your choice

You're not first, you won't be last
You're just an extra in the cast
Set the stage, made up face
Yeah, another's gonna take your place
That's okay, hey that's your choice

But you better speak up
'Cause I can't hear your pretty voice
Way up here

What did you want from me
And did you get it
Raise those curtains and we'll see
The actress playing
Someone that I thought
Carеd about me
But people who carе
Don't leave

If we meet again someday
Probably won't, but let's just say
I hope you turn and walk away
'Cause I don't know if I could
Control my speech
Say a few choice words
Ask you why you rebuilt my world
If you only wanna watch it crumble
Man I don't know how you act so humble

When you commit these acts
And against all odds
Still have me wishing that you'd come back

Well what did you want from me
And did you get it
I'll raise those curtains and we'll see
The actress playing
Someone that I thought
Cared about me
But people who care
Don't leave

Yeah what did you want from me
And did you get it
I'll raise those curtains and we'll see
The actress playing

Aw, the actress is playing again
