Letter To Mr. R

Hello Ray, could you make sure Mister R. gets this letter
I know it’s just the night before the show, but I could make it better

……….

Mister R., it seems to me you’re going too far
I don’t understand the script you wrote
I liked the one before, why did it have to change?
Near every one of my lines you put a side note
Now how am I gonna say them on stage?
They’re not right
The crowd is gonna cut me off with a knife
Let’s not fight
But why can’t I be the one in charge of my life?

-Chorus-
I know it’s just a school play
It isn’t you who’s putting on this show everyday
But maybe someday I’ll shine in the spotlight with this
Maybe someday they’ll make a movie based on this story
Maybe someday you’ll see I don’t need to read my life off a script
Maybe someday I’ll write my own plays without feeling sorry
Maybe someday, this actress will go far
That’s why I said it all in my letter to Mister R.

Mister R., if you don’t think I’m going too far
I can’t learn these new lines right away
They’re harder than my own; I don’t want them to change
I might be an actress but I know what to say
But how could I ever say it on stage?
Cause if I do
You’re the one who will cut me off with a knife
I’m not you
So then why are you the one in charge of my life?

-Chorus-
I know it’s just a school play
It isn’t you who’s putting on this show everyday
But maybe someday I’ll shine in the spotlight with this
Maybe someday they’ll make a movie based on this story
Maybe someday you’ll see I don’t need to read my life off a script
Maybe someday I’ll write my own plays without feeling sorry
Maybe someday, this actress will go far
That’s why I said it all in my letter to Mister R.

-Bridge-
Ray said he got the letter and threw it in the bin
Very nice of him, but I’m not gonna live in fear
Because being myself is not a capital sin
So I’ll write another letter where I’m sincere

-Chorus-
No, it’s not just a school play
Because it’s me who puts on a show everyday
And I’m sure someday I’ll shine in the spotlight with this
I’m sure someday I’ll see a movie based on this story
I’m sure someday you’ll stop taking my life as a script
I’m sure someday I’ll publish my plays and I won’t be sorry
I’m sure someday this actress will go far
And I don’t need to explain it to Mister R.

Not really my style but I really like this! Especially the concept behind it. Took me quite a while to get the gist of what you were saying but I defo liked the way you put your point across
