Micra - Actor

Close that wager
Love and all, yeah it's not romantic
Over explaining
All my words are weightless
In that dress you gave me
I'm an actor baby
Masquerading
I'm aware
I'm an actor for you

Moving on, moving on
I'm forecasting the worst reaction
Going strong, going strong
I'm scared to sit alone with myself
Cause I know it all, know it all
And happiness is where you won't sit
Say the words, be the bird
I need to show you more

Hold that cadence, too in front
I can be so evasive
Expectations rolling out
While my body's ageing
Medicating (novocaine)
Now I'm always vacant
Saved a template for you babe
I'm an actor for you

Come alive you're acting won't you try for me
(Somewhere that we know)
My father's eyes, you helped me keep my sanity
(It's somewhere that I go)
With one hand in my pocket, I've been out of reach
In a way, you were seeing just the best part of me
To be brave but uneasy, to be less on my knees

Not everyone's living
I've been acting for a living
And for always I was livid
I've been acting for a living

And I'm told that I'll heal if I stop holding back
Cause I'm not being real
Yeah, I've been owning that
