Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She don't smile too much
But when she does, it's just enough to make you smile back
And she don't cry too much
But when she does, it's just enough to make you feel bad
[Verse 2]
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 waves, so, there's no time for her heart
Can't slow down now
[Verse 3]
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 I found on the mattress
Hide my pain, I can never admit
That I'm sick of all this
But no, oh, it's easier to be an actress
Yeah, oh, oh
[Verse 4]
She don't fall in love
'Cause that would mean gotta let 'em see behind the mask
Oh, she don't know enough
About how beautiful she is without all the magic tricks that she's hidin'
[Verse 5]
She got dreams to be seen on screens by everyone
But underneath, truly just wants to be close by anyone
But you gotta fake it till you make it, so, there's no time to be real
Can't slow down now
[Verse 6]
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 I found on the mattress
Hide my pain, I can never admit
That I'm sick of all this
But no, oh, it's easier to be an actress
[Verse 7]
Yeah
But no, oh, it's easier to be an actress
Oh, yeah
It's easier
