life of the party

Jake Owen

Swore 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

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 I m dying 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

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 I m dying inside
So I guess I ll be the life
Life of the party

Everybody thinkin I m feelin good
Everybody thinkin I m havin a real good time
Don t know the truth about you and I

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 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

Swear I was gonna tell em the truth
But I didn t know what to say
