[Verse 1]

I've been laying wide awake

Watching every last mistake I ever made

On a cinema screen in the back of my forehead, and

I've been praying for a change

Hoping I could press "Play" on a different day

But we are the scene I can never stop watching


[Pre-Chorus]

And I've been trying to get everything you said out of my head

I've been trying to move but all I want to do is forget

And I'm dying to turn it off

I've been trying with all that I've got


[Chorus]

And I know, you're no good for me

And I know, I know I should be moving on

Mo-o-ving on, from this Hollywood dream

On my cinema screen


[Verse 2]

I believed in all your lies

I've been crying through the night, you never loved me

So why can I still taste you between my teeth? And

I can feel you on my bones

And this pain just feels like home

Lights, camera, action, I'm lying again


[Pre-Chorus]

And I've been trying to get everything you said out of my head

I've been trying to move but all I want to do is forget

And I'm dying to turn it off

I've been trying with all that I've got


[Chorus]

And I know, you're no good for me

And I know, I know I should be moving on

Mo-o-ving on, from this Hollywood dream

Before you ruin me

And although, although it kills me

I should go, but it's not so easy moving on

Mo-o-ving on, from this Hollywood dream


[Bridge]

And I've been shrinking again, over-thinking again

Pushing me 'round the bend again

Tip-toeing over the edge, trying my best to pretend

That I am not losing myself


[Chorus]

And I know, you're no good for me

And I know, I know I should be moving on

Mo-o-ving on, from this Hollywood dream

Before you ruin me

And although, although it kills me

I should go, but it's not so easy moving on

Mo-o-ving on, from this Hollywood dream

On my cinema screen
