Heartache on the Big Screen

by Jonathan Young

on I Didn't Write Any of This (Vol. 1) (2014)

My script is ripped and now I see
This is heartache on the big screen, yeah

It 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
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 tickin', and I'm out of time
The camera's rollin', and I forgot my lines
The script is ripped and now I see
This is heartache on the big screen

The curtain closes on this cliché
Just a 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
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 tickin', and I'm out of time
The camera's rollin', 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 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

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 tickin', and I'm out of time
The camera's rollin', and I forgot my lines
My script is ripped and now I see
This is heartache on the big screen
