Good Actor

He is faking it! Look!
He is faking it!

Late at night, after the lights fade out
You turn on your charm, casting shadows of doubt
But when the crowd disperses, I'm your safety net
Hiding truths you regret, playing your Juliet

Walking home, your facade starts to crack
I reach out, but you push me back
High school games in your head, so immature
Your insecurities bleed, leaving scars obscure

Heart racing, I'm trembling in the dark
You smile, "Good acting", leaving your mark
Caught in your spotlight, I'm breaking down
Your friends cheer along, laughing, playing the clown

But you criticize them, now they're your loyal crew
Do they know who you are, the pain you put me through?
Am I just a victim in your twisted game?
One day they'll see the truth, call you by name

Broken promises, like shards of glass
Your anger burns bright, a love that didn't last
Left alone in the cold of night
You rewrite our story, twisted and trite

A hundred lies to cover your fears
Dodging blame, you disappear
But when the curtain falls, it's plain to see
You're the villain, not the hero you try to be

Heart racing, I'm trembling in the dark
You smile, "Good acting", leaving your mark
Caught in your spotlight, I'm breaking down
Your friends cheer along, laughing, playing the clown

You criticize them, now they're your loyal crew
Do they know who you are, the pain you put me through?
Am I just a victim in your twisted game?
One day they'll see the truth, call you by name

I won't forget, won't forgive your deceit
The scars you left, the tears, so bittersweet
Your mask will crack, the facade will fall
They'll see through your act, unravel it all

You criticize them, now they're your loyal crew
Do they know who you are, the pain you put me through?
Am I just a victim in your twisted game?
One day they'll see the truth, call you by name

Good actor, good actor
Your lies unravel, truth comes alive
Good actor, good actor
In the end, you'll reap what you contrive
