SMASH Cast, Katharine McPhee, Jeremy Jordan - Rewrite This Story (SMASH Cast Version) lyrics

There's a block on the edge of
This town no one talks about
Where the train doesn't stop and the
Kids know they're not getting out
You live in the loop, the smokes on the stoop
Counting the coins you got
You work at a bar where all that
You are is everything you're not
Someone tell me when I can start again
And rewrite this story
How long can I stay lost
Without a way to rewrite?
I wish I could rewrite this story

Pretty face
Pretty voice pretty much someone they forget
Hard to tell me apart from the
Ten other girls they just met
"We can't see the hook
We can't sell the look" i hear it every day
"You won't be a star if you're who you are"
So I just fade away make me someone new
Tell me what I do to rewrite this story

How long can I stay
Lost without a way to rewrite
I wish I could rewrite this story
Change every word of every line
Write any story but mine
Someone tell me when can I start again
And rewrite this story yeah, yeah
How long can I stay
Lost without a way to rewrite rewrite
I wish I could rewrite this story
