Ah-ah-ah

I was a singer
You were my fan
When no one gave a damn
It was you in the dark
Scared of your anger
In love with your whim
Some notes I don't hit
But I don't give up

Now every day the plane takes off
And every night the room fills up with
People who are convinced I'm not
Just some kid faking it for your love

'Cause I'm an actress
All of the medals I won for ya
Breaking my back just
To be your favourite daughter
Everywhere I run, I'm always running to ya
Breaking my back just
Hoping you'll say I'm a star

You had a brother
I look like him
You told us as kids
He died of a broken heart
And for every door you open, there's a room I can't go in
I break in, I still can't find you

Now that every day the plane takes off
And every night the room fills up
I tell myself that soon we'll talk
Then I sing every word just to ya

'Cause I'm an actress
All of the medals I won for ya
Panic attack just
To be your favourite daughter
Everywhere I run, I'm always running to ya
Breaking my back to
Carry the weight of your heart

But I keep dancing till I get sick
Why'd you have to dream so big?
Why did no one listen when you hit the notes from your heart?

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

I'm a good actress
Look at the medals that I won for ya
So you could imagine
Being a favourite daughter
Everywhere I run, I'm always running to ya
Breaking my back just
To be as brave as my mother
