lyrics

I always thought I was a good guy, but I’m not.
When there’s an opportunity to settle down, I never take it.
We were never truly meant to be, and maybe we’ll be killed off screen unceremoniously.

I’ve got this scene so memorized. Over and over every frame. Wooden lines on the silver screen are getting easier for me to say drop the curtain down, there’s nothing left to see.

It’s a long way from the top in the Hollywood hills to the parking lot. I thought I’d miss you, but I’m happy to just see you rot. I guess what I’m trying to say is that

I always thought I was a good guy, but I’m not.
When there’s an opportunity to settle down, I never take it.
We were never truly meant to be, and maybe we’ll be killed off screen unceremoniously.

This is no proper drama, there is a lingering doubt. I’m going to write this ending, but I’m going to write you out.

I always thought I was a good guy, but I’m not.
When there’s an opportunity to settle down, I never take it.
We were never truly meant to be
Just two in the scenery, living in a world of selfish fakery
We’re nothing but actors here, playing in a part that’s insincere
We’re nothing but actors here, playing in a part that’s just so insincere
