Songtext Acting Neon Trees

Acting

I'm in some type of predicament
Some mid season reveal
Where everything you knew was wrong
I thought I was your new ligament
I beg borrow and steal
For you like some pathetic dog

Honest, nothing shocks me anymore
But I still cry at night
For the little boy I used to be

Grow up, get yourself some armor
Learn to shoot a gun
And guard your heart 'til nothing bleeds

I got a sore throat from sucking you off
You got all my better years, and I paid the cost
Putting on our game faces, heartbreakers
Still know it's true
You can keep acting like you don't care
And I'll keep acting like I do
Ooh

I'll stop
Getting high on the way to rehab
But it's so epic and tragic
Like some 90's junkie film

I know when the only tools a hammer and every problem looks just like a nail
You wanna quit

Honest, I've been on the edge of it
I guess it's just too good a life to leave too early from
We would end up going down in history
With other codependents years and years after we're gone

I got a sore throat
From sucking you off
You got all my better years
And I paid the cost
Putting on our game faces, heartbreakers
Still know it's true
You can keep acting like you don't care
And I'll keep acting like I do
Ooh

I got a sore throat
From sucking you off
You got all my better years
And I paid the cost
Putting on our game faces, heartbreakers
Still know it's true
You can keep acting like you don't care
And I'll keep acting like I do
I do

I'll keep acting like I do
Keep acting like I do
I'll keep acting like I do
