If you want to be an actress

If you want to be an actress
(28/09/09)


If you want to be an actress
Go to Hollywood
And be so sexy.
Smile when you´re sad.
And be so artificial with people.
Make scenes to make all people
Cry and forget all their nightmares.
While you haven´t got time to
Stop and think in yours.


If you want to be an actress
Work hard!
You are going to have a hard life.
Make people dream like you do.
You´ll have a million dollars
And the hotel´s walls as your friends.


Don´t leave me.
Please, don´t go.
Take me over!
I´ve got so much to offer you.
So let it be.

Dreams go away in the still
Of the night.
But scars we take forever...
Please, don´t be an actress.
Don´t go.
