GOOD AT PRETENDING [Verse 1] You always had an answer For everything you’d done Somehow every conversation Ended with you being the one I’d defend you to my friends You’d deny it to my face Funny how I kept your secrets While you gave mine away [Pre-Chorus] And I really thought you knew me Guess I gave you too much credit You could make a room adore you Then act like you never said it [Chorus] Oh, you’re everybody’s favourite Aren’t you something, aren’t you? Say the right things, play the part Leave a mess and call it love You’re a saint until they know you What a shame I got to know you Everybody’s falling for your show You’re everybody’s favourite Till they know [Verse 2] You’d call me when you needed Someone firmly on your side Then you’d disappear for weeks Like I’d imagined all that time And I wonder what you tell them When they ask about us two Do you leave out all the details That don’t make you look good? [Pre-Chorus] And I really tried to get you I could always find excuses But there’s only so much patience You can waste on someone’s bullshit [Chorus] Oh, you’re everybody’s favourite Aren’t you something, aren’t you? Say the right things, play the part Leave a mess and call it love You’re a saint until they know you What a shame I got to know you Everybody’s falling for your show You’re everybody’s favourite Till they know [Bridge] And maybe I was stupid Maybe I just wanted friends Maybe I kept on forgiving ’Cause I hated how things end But I don’t need an explanation I don’t need you to confess I can live without the answers I just wish I’d seen it then [Final Chorus] Oh, you’re everybody’s favourite Aren’t you something, aren’t you? Say the right things, play the part Leave a mess and call it love You’re a saint until they know you What a shame I got to know you Everybody’s falling for your show You’re everybody’s favourite Till they know [Outro] I don’t hate you That’s the funny thing I just don’t believe A word you say to me And if they ask what happened I’ll tell them we grew apart You can keep your reputation I’ll keep knowing who you are
