lyrics
GIRL FROM A MOVIE
Here I am, finally after all this waiting,
I can’t believe it’s really you,
You’re just like I’d always imagined,
Better than I had imagined…
Oh, what a waste of time it’s been,
Chasing this dream, making my thoughts all about you,
I never had a fight in this to win,
I just thought I found love and followed you blindly, but
You’re not the man I had hoped,
You’re not the same as I imagined,
You’re not at all who I thought you to be,
When you look at me, what do you see?
Am I not more to you than a girl from that movie?
One of these days you'll see me on TV
Maybe by then you'll realize what you had in me,
And you'll be sorry you let me go
My bad, I made you out to be a god,
Not without fault, but still light years apart from everybody else,
Damn, I just can’t make it make any sense,
And it hurts to embrace this falling from grace with my eyes open, seeing
I’m not the girl you had hoped,
I’m not the same as you imagined,
I’m not at all who you thought me to be,
When you look at me, what do you see?
Am I not more to you than a girl from a movie?
One of these days you'll see me on TV
Maybe by then you'll realize what you had in me,
And you'll be sorry you let me go,
I think you know...
Here I am, just me with all my imperfections,
Showing myself bare to you,
Not meeting all your expectations,
But better than your expectations,
Not that you will ever know…
Never have I ever seen a better movie,
I just fell in love with all the actors,
And I really missed them when the movie was over,
So I ended up just watching it over and over,
Wishing them to be real people,
Imagining myself disappearing,
Into their world for a second.
Here I am, finally after all this waiting,
I can’t believe it’s really you,
You’re just like I’d always imagined,
Better than I had imagined…
Oh, what a waste of time it’s been,
Chasing this dream, making my thoughts all about you,
I never had a fight in this to win,
I just thought I found love and followed you blindly, but
You’re not the man I had hoped,
You’re not the same as I imagined,
You’re not at all who I thought you to be,
When you look at me, what do you see?
Am I not more to you than a girl from that movie?
One of these days you'll see me on TV
Maybe by then you'll realize what you had in me,
And you'll be sorry you let me go
My bad, I made you out to be a god,
Not without fault, but still light years apart from everybody else,
Damn, I just can’t make it make any sense,
And it hurts to embrace this falling from grace with my eyes open, seeing
I’m not the girl you had hoped,
I’m not the same as you imagined,
I’m not at all who you thought me to be,
When you look at me, what do you see?
Am I not more to you than a girl from a movie?
One of these days you'll see me on TV
Maybe by then you'll realize what you had in me,
And you'll be sorry you let me go,

And I really missed them when the movie was over,
So I ended up just watching it over and over,
Wishing them to be real people,
Imagining myself disappearing,
Into their world for a second.
