Based on Real Life

I didn’t hear a word that you say
(Cause it’s too familiar)
Everything is lost in cliche
And you’re going under
Cause every conversation’s a scene
(Every little thing a set piece)
In terms of drama you’re queen
And watch too much TV
Stop wasting my time standing in the spotlight
It’s all in your mind. you’re based on real life
Stop wasting my time standing in the spotlight
It’s all in your mind. you’re based on real life
I didn’t have a thing that you want
And you’re still here with me
I try to talk you down but I can’t
Cause you’re struggling with gravity
Stop wasting my time standing in the spotlight
It’s all in your mind. you’re based on real life
Stop wasting my time standing in the spotlight
It’s all in your mind. you’re based on real life
I wish that you would come down
Cause all this it can’t be right
It’s not that bad on the ground
But you say you’ll be here all night
I didn’t have the patience to stay
When you’re not acting your age
Wouldn’t want to stand in your way
(So I’ll just be backstage)
Stop wasting my time standing in the spotlight
It’s all in your mind. you’re based on real life
Stop wasting my time standing in the spotlight
It’s all in your mind. you’re based on real life
Based on real life, you’re based on real life
You’re based on real life, based on real life
(Someone who knows what they’re doing)
(I'm really not that clever)
(I like the idea of people)
(Someone who knows what they’re doing)
