Scripted words, made up everyone
Not a scrap of creation, all just lines
Counting down till she is done
She lies; I can read all the signs

She won't look anyone in the eye
Blushing cheeks, reddened ears
Can’t believe she’s still telling her lies
She never saw any of my tears

Now some story, an apology
A little too late, now
For her to say she’s sorry
Every time the same vow

To be broken yet another again
Her kindness, good will, an illusion
This time they're on my side, even your friends
You were wrong, those tricks abusing

My friendship. your jokes never funny just cruel
You try to be the boss not changing ever
You were not any nicer away from our school
Its all been the same act for as long as I remember

This staged scene that we all saw through
Every time you threw away the blame
Told us instantly, it was you
To you friends are some game

The world is your stage
That you play in and out of at will
Center act, you never fade
You say you’re the best, when you got no skill

You play the same tune all the time
You dance to the same music at each performance
We know it by heart the same lines
Seen you charades, your not getting no more chances

Looks like you’re finished, time to exit the limelight
You could be yourself, or you could leave with grace
Tired of hearing you sing, and watch you try
To win. When everyone is tired of seeing your face.
