Unscripted Acts of Love

Scene one Why do we continuously watch this show? When we've already seen the ending many a times before I may be repeating the lines to my script somehow you easially can get me all unfocused and upset once again! And now I lost my place I rack my brain to remember if you told me your name A time or two ago But you are a totally new character,an unfamiliar face This scene will never turn out No matter how many cuts Or how many takes I can no longer be a lead role in this play I never wanted to be an actress for a living Or even non-existing anyways So with dialect, I dictate this diction Our situation with us that is Ain't on no commercial brake Maybe though,a permanant intermission Our "so-called" love and the relationship we share Will never budge, at least forward on 'Cause as far as I can see It's always going to be a re-run Scene two Today I don't feel like putting on any stage make-up I don't feel like putting on a mask Nor a fake face or pretend to laugh Our buttons we both pushed All got stuck on pause,fast-foward,rewind,and slow-motion Going nowhere fast Only to keep on repeating the same scene Playing the worst parts over and over and over I just want things to be like they were before This is not an all new episode Our antenna's must have been damaged from the last storm 'Cause our connection has a lot of static no matter What channel we try to tune into Get the picture? -This is a soap opera of our love unscripted,and the acts that follow comes with consequences
