I Didn't Get My Lines

~4:10, Female or Male Lead

VERSE 1
We've never been here before
Different than our favorite haunts
Quiet music, breezy
Downtown restaurant
You slowly look away
You reach across for my hands
You've got something difficult to say
Words rehearsed and planned but

CHORUS
I didn't get my lines
Didn't practice for this scene
Slow rendition doesn't help
Heartbreak is what this means
Music builds the tension but
I didn't get my lines, no
I didn't get my lines

VERSE 2
I look right through you
Slowly scan the room
No lighting, no props
No cameras, no crew
It's just you and me
Now, it's you and me we lack
No dramatic outburst
I fade to black 'cause

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
Saying it's me won?t make it better
Saying it's you won?t be the truth
Saying it's us could be the closest
Maybe that will have to do

REPEAT CHORUS & FADEOUT
