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
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
