There was trail of destruction
That led straight to you
Ignored all the signs
That I wish weren’t true
You’re such a good actor
I guess you had me fooled

Guess I was convenient
When I was around
Cuz you love attention
The talk of the town
And I’d build you up
While you’d just tear me down

What’s done is done
I’m on the other side now

So you can play the golden boy
And lose yourself in all the noise of
“You’re kind, and you’re so perfect”
“I’d love to be your girlfriend”
You were lucky once
How’s life living on the surface?

We’d talk all the time
Now we don’t even speak
I’m wide awake
While you’re both still asleep
You’re so unaffected
By our history

But what’s done is done
I’m on the other side now

So you can play the golden boy
And lose yourself in all the noise of
“You’re kind, and you’re so perfect”
“I’d love to be your girlfriend”
You were lucky once
How’s life living on the surface?

You can really play the part
While you stay breaking all these hearts
Oh “what’s it like to be his girlfriend”
Looks good but it’s a burden
You were lucky once
Have fun living on the surface

I’m thankful
You’re no longer wasting my time
I’m grateful I gave up
On reading your mind
I know that it’s much better
Ending like this
Just one on your list
Deceived and dismissed
No I’m not alone being left in your mess
It should bring me closure, or something I guess
But all that I’m left with are unproven words
That everyone heard, and what makes it worse

Is you just play the golden boy
And got so lost in all the noise of
“You’re kind, and you’re so perfect”
“I’d love to be your girlfriend”

How’s life living on the surface?
You can really play the part
While you stay breaking all these hearts
Oh “what’s it like to be his girlfriend”
Looks good but it’s a burden
You were lucky once
Have fun living on the surface
