[Verso 1]
Bm
Just dropped in from the daydream
Em
You know I always gotta cause a big scene
Bm
Gotta make everything about me
Em
I've been like this since I was like thirteen

So let me bend your ears while I've got them

Always late to the party

No way can the loneliness settle in

It's my choice to pretend to be king

[Verso 3]
Bm
The person inside underwhelms me
Em
So I pretend I'm something else entirely
Bm
A person who's better than me at everything
Em
Rather you know that guy instead of me
Bm
It's funny how it took so long to realise
Em
I thought I was alone at trying to live lies
Bm
Maybe everyone's a person being hid behind
Em
Would we all be so alone if we empathised
Interlude
C Bm
Whoa, a depressing epiphany
Em F#m
I know you so far as you let me see

We're both different people way underneath

What happens when those people meet

I'm feeding that void every day
