[Verse 1]
Swore I was going to 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
Painted a smile on my face
Like everything was okay

[Chorus]
I was hanging around, rockin' 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 I'm dying inside
So I guess I'll be the life
Life of the party

[Verse 2]
And then one of your friends
Came up and gave me a hug and asked me
How we'd 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 her that you said goodbye
I couldn't even look her in the eye
So I kept on
[Chorus]
Hanging around, rockin' 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 I'm dying inside
So I guess I'll be the life
Life of the party

[Bridge]
Everybody thinking I'm feeling good
Everybody thinking I'm havin' a real good time
Don't know the truth about you and I

[Chorus]
So I'm hanging around, rockin' 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 I'm dying 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
[Outro]
Swore I was going to tell 'em the truth
But I didn't know what to say
