Lyrics My Part - E.Quipped

Why can't it be me playing that role
Why was I written out of the script
That was supposed to be my part
And where did my leading lady go
I can't accept this is how it all ends
So back to the drawing board, time for rewrites
Casted the wrong man for her
Why'd they greenlight the project without me
I can't believe somebody else is playing my part

I thought we had some great on screen chemistry
Off screen stayed in character to continue scenes
The project got delayed
And rumors from behind the scenes are that I got replaced
But who can deliver lines like me?
'Cause I got more to say
That was the role that I was born to play
And I'll choreograph a fight scene before it gets torn away
I should've seen the plot twist coming from miles away
Instead of being so lost in her performance that I lost my place

Why can't it be me playing that role
Why was I written out of the script
That was supposed to be my part
And where did my leading lady go
I can't accept this is how it all ends
Back to the drawing board, time for rewrites
Casted the wrong man for her
Why'd they greenlight the project without me
I can't believe somebody else is playing my part

She was certified fresh
On every director's shortlist
No special effects or makeup could make her more picture perfect
I guess I just didn't fit that portrait
'Cause once she took my breath she turned her attention towards him
There's nothing I wouldn't do for her, but no more shared universe
'Cause Hollywood's It-Girl clowned me and now I feel used and worthless
I hope it's all a bad dream sequence 'cause the truth, it hurts
To sit back and see him in the scenes that me and you rehearsed

Why can't it be me playing that role
Why was I written out of the script
And where did my leading lady go
I can't accept this is how it all ends
Back to the drawing board, time for rewrites
Casted the wrong man for her
Why'd they greenlight the project without me
I can't believe somebody else is playing my part
My part, my part
Playing my part, my part, my part
They're playing my part, my part, my part
He's playing my part, my part, my part

Up on the movie screen, wait hold up
Who's this dude I see, man, what the
Any steamy images were supposed to be of you and me
But now I'm just deleting pics from my i-p-h-o-n-e
'Cause I'm feeling sick but it's not the concessions or from no CGI
Me, I, thought I nailed the audition and everything is Nehi
Peachy, but a sneak peak would see me screaming
'Cause the film that I'm screening is now a disaster pic
Plus a drama and slasher mixed, together
But would have been better as a feel good romance with a little action in it
I wasn't just planning to box office smash and then call it quits
I wanted to make a family film, but dag, now that's the alternate ending
Or one of the unfinished takes on the cutting room floor
So can we splice the tape, or am I just relegated to do the score
With you, I thought I scored
So I hope critics view your performance and rip the whole movie to shreds
Never mind only breaking the fourth wall
I'm tearing the whole set down
I went from having a starring role to no credits, and you acting real extra now
