Tori Kelly – Actress lyrics

[Verse 1]
She don't smile too much, but when she does, it's just enough to make you smile back
She don't cry too much, but when she does, its just enough to make you feel bad
She got dreams to be seen on screens by everyone
But underneath, truly she wants to be known by anyone

[Chorus]
She's in the fast lane, making big waves, so there's no time for her heart
Can't slow down now
She said it's easier to be an actress
Call me insane, call me an addict
But like champagne when it touches my lips
I can choose who I wanna be
Yeah, it's easier to be an actress
Fresh tear stains are found on her mattress
Hide my pain, I can never admit that I'm sick of all this
But nuh uh, it's easier to be an actress

[Verse 2]
She don't fall in love, cause that would mean, gotta let them see behind the mask
And she don't know enough about how beautiful she is, about all the magic tricks she's hiding
And she got dreams to be seen on screens by everyone
But underneath, truly, she wants to be close to anyone
But you gotta fake it till you make it
So there's no time to be real
Can't slow down now

[Chorus]
She said it's easier to be an actress
Call me insane, call me an addict
But like champagne when it touches my lips
I can choose who I wanna be
Yeah, it's easier to be an actress
Fresh tear stains are found on her mattress
Hide my pain, I can never admit that I'm sick of all this
But nuh uh, it's easier to be an actress

[Chorus]
So much easier, so much easier
Easier to be an actress
Call me insane, call me an addict
But like champagne when it touches my lips
I can choose who I wanna be
Yeah, its easier to be an actress
Fresh tear stains are found on her mattress
Hide my pain, I can never admit that I'm sick of all this
But nuh uh, it's easier to be an actress
