Swear I was gonna tell em the truth

That was til everybody started asking 'bout you

And I didn't know what to say

Came up with some lame excuse

Why you were gone

Said you were gonna come later on

Planted a smile on my face

Like everything was okay

[Chorus]

I was hanging around, walk in the crowd

Everybody singing along to my songs

Taking my shots, throwing them back

Acting like you ain't gone

But I don't want em to know I'm all alone

And I ain't got nobody

I don't want em to see you died inside

So I guess I'll be the life

Life of the party

And then one of your friends

Came up and gave me a hug and asked me how we've been

I smiled and said we're better than we've ever been

Well I don't know why I had to lie

Guess I didn't wanna tell er that you said goodbye

I couldn't even look er in the eye

So I kept on...

[Chorus]

Hanging around, walk in the crowd

Everybody singing along to my songs

Taking my shots, throwing them back

Acting like you ain't gone

But I don't want em to know I'm all alone

And I ain't got nobody

I don't want em to see you died inside

So I guess I'll be the life

Life of the party

[Bridge]

Everybody thinkin I'm feelin good

Everybody thinkin I'm havin a real good time

Don't know the truth about you and I

[Chorus]

So I'm hanging around, walk in the crowd

Everybody singing along to my songs

Taking my shots, throwing them back

Acting like you ain't gone

But I don't want em to know I'm all alone

And I ain't got nobody

I don't want em to see you died inside

So I guess I'll be the life

Life of the party

Life of the party

Life of the party

So I guess I'll be the life

Life of the party

Swear I was gonna tell em the truth

But I didn't know what to say
