Started out like in the movies But it ended like a bad dream Curtain opened, heard the crowd roar This one's a repeat, seen it before Rewind to the start before it all went wrong What's going on? Fast forward to the end, after everyone's gone home, oh And they've forgotten it all This ain't a movie that I wanna see A tragic story, starring you and me Yell "cut", we're stuck inside this scene This is heartache on the big screen The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time The camera's rolling, and I forgot my lines My script is ripped and now I see This is heartache on the big screen This is heartache on the big screen Curtain closes on this cliché A good story of a bad day Back to square one, where I started As I stand here, broken hearted Fast forward to the end, after everyone's gone home, oh And they have forgotten it all This ain't a movie that I wanna see A tragic story, starring you and me Yell "cut", we're stuck inside this scene This is heartache on the big screen The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time The camera's rolling, and I forgot my lines My script is ripped and now I see This is heartache on the big screen If Hollywood could see me now I'd get the starring role But they won't so I'll just keep on acting a fool This ain't a movie that I wanna see A tragic story, starring you and me Yell "cut", we're stuck inside this scene Yeah The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time The camera's rolling, and I forgot my lines My script is ripped and now I see This is heartache on the big screen This is heartache on the big screen This is heartache on the big screen
