lyrics

You’ve got that perfect smile. You’ve got that upbeat cheer. You’ve got command of all the right words when chewing at people’s ears. I’ve got these broken teeth. I’ve got these ink stained hands. I’ve got shit-talk that I hide behind all the time in lieu of what friendship demands. And you’re up there and I’m down here and I’m not sure who you are. When you’re not here are you still the same troubadour rocking that guitar? Or are you someone different when you go? Well if so you put on quite a show. The cause for this jealousy explained simply: you’re faking it so much better than me. You’ve got that social charm. I’ve got this one-man band. You’ve got all of those sweet old memories that I only wished I had. And you’re in there and I’m out here and I’m not sure who I am. But when I go back in I swear this time I’ll try harder to pretend. But I know I’ll just be faking it again. The cause for this jealousy stated briefly: you’re faking it so much better than me. And you’re in there and I’m out here.
