Between a rock and a hard place That's where you put me with the words you say Not like an elephant where the room fills up More like 800 one-pound gorillas These little slights are so slippery I let them slide, but they always stick with me It's getting harder to keep 'em underneath See, if we were a movie, if we were a show The next scene would be a perfect scenario Where I'd say how I feel and the reasons I felt it And all of these passive aggressions would be dealt with I'd hear your story, you'd see my side The music would swell and every other line would rhyme We'd finally acknowledge what's happening But this ain't a movie, so we just keep acting We know our little number so well The stage is covered up in egg shells We do our dances and hit our marks Deliver dialogue we memorized by heart We'd never break our characters We'd never leave the fourth wall shattered Because if I took offense, you'd play innocent I'd look petty and over-sensitive But if we were a movie, if we were a show The next scene would be a perfect scenario Where I'd say how I feel and the reasons I felt it And all of these passive aggressions would be dealt with I'd hear your story, you'd see my side The music would swell and every other line would rhyme We'd finally acknowledge what's happening But this ain't a movie, so we just keep acting If we were a movie, if we were a show The next scene would be a perfect scenario Where I'd say how I feel and the reasons I felt it And all of these passive aggressions would be dealt with I'd hear your story, you'd see my side The music would swell and every other line would rhyme We'd finally acknowledge what's happening But this ain't a movie So we just keep acting
