[chorus]
Everywhere I go they smile wide and wave
Got my name on their lips
It's a masquerade
Acting like they've known me since the dawn of time
But I see through their eyes
It's just a pantomime
[Verse 2]
Snapping selfies
Making sure they're tagged
In the background my heart's feeling jagged
Faking all their love
It's just a disguise
Can't dance with me
I can see through the lies
[bridge]
Oh hey hey you say you know me
But it's all part of the show
Hey hey don't pretend to know me
You're just acting for the blow
[Verse 3]
Crowds are cheering
But it feels so fake
Every smile they give
Like icing on a cake
Underneath the surface
They're just playing games
In the spotlight's glare
They forget their own names
[Chorus]
Oh hey hey you say you know me
But it's all part of the show
Hey hey don't pretend to know me
You're just acting for the blow
[Bridge]
Behind the curtains
The truth is kept
No real connections
Just appearances they've prepped
You can't fool me
No matter your role
I'll dance to my beat
Keep my heart whole
