Heartache on the Big Screen Lyrics
[Luke:]
Started out like, in the movies
But it ended, like a bad dream
Curtain opened, heard the crowd roar
This one's a repeat, seen it before
[Calum:]
Rewind to the start before it all went wrong
What's going on?
[Luke:]
Fast forward to the end, after everyone's gone home
And they've forgotten it all
[All:]
This ain't a movie that I wanna see
A tragic story, starring you and me
Yell "Cut!", we're stuck inside this scene
This is heartache on the big screen
The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time
The camera's rolling, and I forgot my lines
My script is ripped and now I see
[Luke:]
This is heartache on the big screen
This is heartache on the big screen
[Calum:]
Curtain closes, oh that's cliché
Like a story, of a bad day
Back to square one, where I started
As I stand here, broken-hearted
Fast forward to the end, after everyone's gone home
And they have forgotten it all
[All:]
This ain't a movie that I wanna see
A tragic story, starring you and me
Yell "Cut!", we're stuck inside this scene
This is heartache on the big screen
The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time
The camera's rolling, and I forgot my lines
My script is ripped and now I see
[Luke:]
This is heartache on the big screen
[Michael:]
If Hollywood could see me now
I've got this starring roll
But they won't so I'll just keep on acting a fool
[Luke:]
This ain't a movie that I wanna see
A tragic story, starring you and me
Yell "Cut!", we're stuck inside this scene
Yeah!
[All:]
The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time.
The camera's rolling, and I forgot my lines.
My script is ripped and now I see
[Luke:]
This is heartache on the big screen
This is heartache on the big screen
This is heartache on the big screen
Started out like, in the movies
But it ended, like a bad dream
Curtain opened, heard the crowd roar
This one's a repeat, seen it before
Rewind to the start before it all went wrong
What's going on?
Fast forward to the end, after everyone's gone home
And they've forgotten it all
This ain't a movie that I wanna see
A tragic story, starring you and me
Yell "Cut!", we're stuck inside this scene
This is heartache on the big screen
The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time
The camera's rolling, and I forgot my lines
My script is ripped and now I see
This is heartache on the big screen
This is heartache on the big screen
Curtain closes, oh that's cliché
Like a story, of a bad day
Back to square one, where I started
As I stand here, broken-hearted
And they have forgotten it all
This ain't a movie that I wanna see
A tragic story, starring you and me
Yell "Cut!", we're stuck inside this scene
This is heartache on the big screen
The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time
The camera's rolling, and I forgot my lines
My script is ripped and now I see
This is heartache on the big screen
If Hollywood could see me now
I've got this starring roll
But they won't so I'll just keep on acting a fool
This ain't a movie that I wanna see
A tragic story, starring you and me
Yell "Cut!", we're stuck inside this scene
Yeah!
The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time.
The camera's rolling, and I forgot my lines.
My script is ripped and now I see
This is heartache on the big screen
This is heartache on the big screen
This is heartache on the big screen

I think this song is like a movie metaphor. "It started out like in the movies" is like the cliche movie where everything ends perfectly. " Rewind to the start before it all went wrong What's going on?" Is like when you realize that you've messed up badly and you want to go back and fix it, but you can't.
