I don't really feel I'm on my own
'Cause nobody here ever leaves me alone
To blink now would be wrong
I might define you in this song
And I don't know if you'd really like
The things that I've become

I don't think I'll write another act
The first one was too long and now in actual fact
All my money's in this play
But the actors ran away
Now I'm working on a rewrite
That retells it all for one

In the battle between book smarts and pride
There's no telling who's the winner here tonight
Tear the tickets up and throw them all away
There's nothing new you haven't heard me say

I'm not giving up but this won't last
Audition's done but curtain call is coming fast
To run now would be cheap
And I hope you're losing sleep
But you know there's only one of us
Who'll make the cast for good

In the battle between book smarts and pride
There's no contest who's the winner here tonight
Tear the tickets up and throw them all away
There's nothing new you haven't heard me say

And carved into my door
Is how you like me now
And written on my wall
Is now you like me how
And carved into my door
Is how you like me now
And written on my wall
Is now you like me how
