[Verse 1] Maybe it's time you know I've been keeping secrets from you To protect your soul From the pain you would go through if I bruised your ego [Verse 2] Cause when you wanna leave I follow If you need me I drown your sorrows Can't let me live I'm just hollow Baby we don't have tomorrow No more hiding, it’s goodbye [Pre - Chorus] Oh here we go, down, again This Hennessy “whiskey” on the rocks is slowly starting to sink in Oh here we go, down, with all The things that won't let me move on I have to let you go [Chorus] Could you be me Pretending to be so perfect in your eyes Could you be me Pretending but still knowing that it’s all lies [Post - Chorus] Ooh baby don't you know? This isn't a one man show I wanted you next to me You think that it’s alright Lying when you're out at night Baby that's not right for me [Verse 3] Don't need your glass full of lies Got my bottle full of Henny I need it baby now, you had one too many Cheers to you, love, I guess you like to break what you adore Don’t forget to smile when all my music's knocking at your door [Pre - Chorus] Oh here we go, down, again This Hennessy “whiskey” on the rocks is slowly starting to sink in Oh here we go, down, with all The things that won't let me move on I have to let you go [Chorus] Could you be me Pretending to be so perfect in your eyes Could you be me Pretending but still knowing that it’s all lies [Post - Chorus] Ooh baby don't you know? This isn't a one man show I wanted you next to me You think that it’s alright Lying when you're out at night Baby that's not right for me [Bridge] If you wanna leave then go I’ll be good on my own I can’t stay trapped inside your selfish world You don’t care when you make, make me feel sad No more pretending we’re over forget all that we had [Chorus] Could you be me? Pretending to be so perfect in your eyes Could you be me? Pretending but still knowing that it’s all lies [Outro] I'm done with you, with us, with everything now that is in the past I'd rather be alone, haven't you heard? I'm good and I love me more
