Well you know that I compare you to someone I want morenAnd I can't make you promises I've broken once beforenSo take my presence lightly and listen with your eyesnAnd don't believe the actress when she criesnnI paint my face each morning so you can't look right throughnAnd I kiss another microphone and hope it gets to younAnd I know you feel abandoned waving to the skynBut don't believe the actress when she criesnnAnd the girl who cried piano is singing to the wolvesnShe's dressed up in her armour; her sword is made of wordsnAnd you'll forget you love her when she forgets her linesnSo don't believe the actressnOh don't believe the actressnPlease don't believe the actressnWhen I cry
