Ivan Mantes - The Actress

Four walls, in the dark, lights shining down on her, but she can't be seen
Stays away, finds a place to hide, no one knows what she's like, inside her beauty

And she says, the words were never hers to write, being the actress of destiny
Fakes a smile, playing the main character, in her own sad winter movie

There's still hope for her, even when she's fighting through her wars
Dark knocking on her door
Fighting through her blizzard cold, revealing her truth untold
That everything is standing on thin ice
That she is standing on thin ice

Four walls, still in the dark, struck by men like lightning, once then twice again
No one is real, no one is true around her, everyone she met, all just left
There's no light from her carousel tonight, only dark memories, that she hides
It's still so cold in her spring time, the cherry blossoms around, froze like ice

And she says, the words were never hers to write, being the actress of destiny
Fakes a smile, playing the main character, in her own sad winter movie

There's still hope for her, even when she's fighting through her wars
Dark knocking on her door
Fighting through her blizzard cold, revealing her truth untold
That everything is standing on thin ice
That she is standing on thin ice

She won't let herself fall, she is opening up through those walls
She ice skates day by day, gliding through her wars

There's still hope for us, even when we're fighting through our wars
Dark knocking on our door
Fighting through our blizzard cold, revealing our truth untold
When everything is standing on thin ice
When we are standing on thin ice
When we are standing on thin ice
