So I been up all night long
And I wrote you this song
Just to tell you how I feel
You’re the girl she tried to steal
I gave you up for her
Even though it really hurt
But I’m letting you go
I’m letting you go
I know that I’ll be fine
You just gotta give it time
I’ve been awake all night
And drunk by daylight
Smoking a pack a day of Camel Lights
Drinking and getting drunk despite
The fact that I’ll be seeing you later
Just gon’ pretend that I’m no hater
You gave me up I don’t know how
Whatever happens I hope that now
You’ll realize that I’m still right here
Just being an ass and pretending not to care
On the surface, I’m just being tough
On the inside, I’ve had enough
Looking like I don’t really give a fuck
But hey [pause] that’s what you do for love!
I was somebody’s girl
I was Somebody’s world
I was Somebody’s cover
I was Somebody’s lover
Now I’m all by myself
Wishing it were somebody else
But I know it’s ‘bot time
For us to move on with life
I can sit here [pause] and just pretend
That you aren’t, and never were my girlfriend
And I know that you’re happy
So don’t try to come near me
Cuz pain can spread
And blood can shed
Now I’m burning in my stomach
Don’t know where I’m gonna plummet
But whatever it takes and whatever you choose
I’d be by your side that’s what I’d do for you
I’d sit back and act as if nothing’s going on
I’ll pretend to the world that nothing’s wrong
Just watching you move on living your life
And I’ll fuck around cuz I’m living a lie
A lie I may live but it’s a beautiful lie
One that I believe and make others perceive
To be true; that all is revealed
But in reality you know that there’s a lot more concealed
You know that far beyond this pretentious smile
You’ll see that you were always worth the while
Deep within this dark, daring eyes
You know that for sure you could make me cry
You make me wanna slit my wrist
Even for a second, just for a little bit
I’d take a bullet to the brain and not cuz I’m insane
I’d kill myself just to be outta your way
Cuz I’m tired of these sickening games we play
So [staccato] sit back, and watch me cry
I’ll stand back, and live a lie
You can just fuck this, you can fuck everything
Cuz I’m done with this I don’t give a shit
I was somebody’s girl
I was Somebody’s world
I was Somebody’s cover
I was Somebody’s lover
Now I’m all by myself
Wishing it were somebody else
But I know it’s ‘bot time
For us to move on with life
I could say more, but I’ve said it all before
So move on now, cuz I will, I’m sure.
