I Am An Actor

I am an actor
I'm one of the best at what I do
I can play a part so well that It'll seem real to all of you

What I am really feeling is always different from what I portray
And what I portray always has a way of contradicting what I say

Everyday I wear a mask
But it is really hard to see
Because the lies I weave to steal the show become a part of me

And the person you think I am 
Is the greatest lie of all 
Because this is an act that never ends even when the curtain falls

I say I love you when I dont
I say I will when I wont
And the biggest fool is me
Because everything I say I believe

I am a master actor
Because everyday I am someone else
And as I start to switch roles faster
I really start to lose myself

The world is my stage 
The audience is everyone
And I will act and keep on acting
Until my show is finally done
