| 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 ticking, and I’m out of time
 | 
| The camera’s rolling, and I forgot my lines
 | 
| My script is ripped and now I see
 | 
| This is heartache on the big screen
 | 
| This is heartache on the big screen
 | 
| Curtain closes on this cliché
 | 
| A good 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’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 ticking, and I’m out of time
 | 
| The camera’s rolling, 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 just 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
 | 
| The clock is ticking, and I’m out of time
 | 
| The camera’s rolling, and I forgot my lines
 | 
| My script is ripped and now I see
 | 
| This is heartache on the big screen
 | 
| This is heartache on the big screen
 | 
| This is heartache on the big screen |
