[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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
[Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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) [Chorus] 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 [Outro] 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)
