Actor lyrics
by Conan Gray
[Intro]
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah, mm-mm-mm
Ah
[Verse 1]
Nobody saw us in the hotel lobby
And nobody saw us with your sweatshirt on me
And nobody saw us leaving bruises on our necks
In a summer spent in a coat check
Nobody wondered where you went all April
Like kicking feet under the whole damn world's table
But my friends discovered when you left me in July
No, I didn't cry, kept the lie alive
[Chorus]
But the church bells won't stop ringing
For an undead wedding day
And you've spent the summer drinking
While I spent it being erased
And I tried to hide the feeling
But it just won't go away
[Post-Chorus]
Let's pretend nothing happened, I agree
But you're a much better actor than me
[Verse 2]
A friend of mine asked you, "Have you talked to Conan?"
You didn't react, you said, "I barely even f*cking know him"
You're saving your face, but you take it out on your nose
The white wind blows, and now I'm lives ago
[Chorus]
And the church bells won't stop ringing
For an undead wedding day
And you've spent the summer drinking
While I spent it being erased
And I tried to hide the feeling
But it just won't go away
[Post-Chorus]
Let's pretend nothing happened, I agree
But you're a much better actor than me
[Bridge]
If you ever cared, well, I wouldn't know
Blame it on a bad manic episode
When you meet a girl on some TV show
There's a side of you that she'll never know
Tell all your friends that she's the one
And you can say it's love
[Chorus]
But the church bells won't stop ringing
For an undead wedding day
And you've spent your whole life drinking
Oh, drinking me away
And I tried to hide the feeling
But I just can't lie that way
[Post-Chorus]
You pretend nothing happened, I believe
'Cause you're a much better actor
