Good Actors

Thinking up brand new ways to fake it

While laying new bricks up top the walls that we created

But I’m still running the scripted lines, and picking how to say 'em/l

But whenever the lights come up, can’t keep myself from hesitating

Working up different ways to stage it

Taking a bow before a theater that’s vacated

Like our empty connection that we keep on cultivating

Watch the awards from home, pretending we got nominated

So baby we’ll act out the scenes, and I’ll keep on playing along

But when you’re right next to me, I can’t help but feeling alone

So we’re gonna fake up some feelings, on with the show

Just like all good actors do

We take any chance to talk around it

Cause we’d rather just push it down than ever talk about it - all the

Fake smiles, fake love, fake happy

Post this, post that, post sappy

And play it convincing, so no one ever gets the chance to doubt it

We’re co-stars in make believing

We wonder just who we’re being

We’re over love that’s pretending

So let’s stop pretending

But we keep pretending

All good actors do
