Hot Breakfast - Act Surprised lyrics

Something ‘bout this story’s so familiar

Swear to God I've heard it once before

This is where he pledges love eternal

This is where the lady’s not so sure

Still and all the words are so enchanting

Gives me such a comfort in my soul

Here I am rereading the same chapter

Enraptured as the fairytale unfolds

Pretending that the ending won’t turn cold

So tell me that you’ll always need me

Tell me to look into your eyes

Then tell me that you gotta leave me

I’ll try to act surprised

Now I don’t mean to ruin your momentum

And I don’t mean to read too far ahead

I just want to savor every sentence

Believing every word the hero said

But warning there are spoilers ahead

So tell me that you’ll always need me

Tell me to look into your eyes

Then tell me that you gotta leave me

I’ll try to act surprised

Don’t you stray from your design

Stay on script, don’t change a line

I’ve been waiting for so long

I want the chance to play along

You’ll tell me how your poor heart bleeds

Cause you can’t give me what I need

And then break down and cry

One more kiss, uncertain

Then curtain on my storybook goodbye

And I’ll try

Tell me that you’ll always love me

Tell me to look into your eyes

Then tell me that you’re gonna leave me

I’ll try to act surprised

Tell me that you’ll always love me

Tell me to look into your eyes

Then tell me that you’re gonna leave me

I’ll try to act surprised
