There was an actor playing a part in a movie
Who had to tell this stranger he loved her dearly.
But the director said, “Again, with feeling.”
Who had to tell this stranger he loved her dearly.
But the director said, “Again, with feeling.”
Hollow, hollow, telling truth with lies,
The lines are memorized.
Playing a part, being pulled apart,
Trembling at earnest thought.
Over and over again,
He had to tell her he loved her.
“Again, again,” they said, “say it again.”
Until you almost believe it’s true,
And the audience will believe you too.
