golden boy

golden boy

There was a trail of destruction that lead 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
'Cause you love attention, the talk of the town
And I'd build you up while you'd just tear me down (down, down, 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

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 livin' 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 livin' on the surface
