Actress
by Tori Kelly

Album: Inspired by True Events

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, it's just enough to make you feel bad

Pre-Chorus
She got dreams to be seen on screens by everyone
But underneath, truly, just wants to be known by anyone
She's in the fast lane, making big waves, so there's no time for her heart
Can't slow down now

Chorus
She said it's easier to be an actress
Call me insane or 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 the 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
Yeah
Oh-whoa

Verse 2
She don't fall in love
'Cause that would mean gotta let 'em see behind the mask, oh
And she don't know enough
About how beautiful she is without all the magic tricks that she's hiding

Pre-Chorus
And she got dreams to be seen on screens by everyone
But underneath, truly, just wants to be close to anyone
But you gotta fake it 'til 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 or call me an addict
But like champagne when it touches my lips
And I can choose who I wanna be
Yeah, it's easier to be an actress
Fresh tear stains are found on the 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
Yeah, oh
Nuh-uh, it's easier to be an actress
Oh, yeah

Outro
It's easier, mmm
