Intro
You wanted a title, not a lover,
He wanted attention, not another,
Funny how the truth comes around,
Now everybody sees what went down.
Verse 1
He threw away a real one fast,
For a little story that would never last,
Thought he found gold, left loyalty behind,
Now he’s stuck with someone playing with his mind.
She says “forever”, says “you’re my guy”,
Then another boy catches her eye,
Swears it’s love, swears it’s true,
Says the same thing to a different dude.
Pre-Chorus
Two actors on the same stage,
Writing lies on every page,
Both pretending, both playing games,
Different faces, same old names.
Chorus
You wanted a boyfriend, not his heart,
He wanted a trophy from the start,
Now you’re dancing in a fake romance,
Built on lies and circumstance.
Princess wants a crown to wear,
Doesn’t really care who’s there,
King of nothing by her side,
Both got what they tried to find.
Verse 2
Pick-me energy, loud and clear,
Changing personalities year by year,
Anything for attention, anything for fame,
Different day, same old game.
And he’s blind, he can’t see,
The red flags hanging from every tree,
Traded respect for a temporary thrill,
Now he’s learning how betrayal feels.
Bridge
Funny how karma takes her time,
Never misses, never blind,
What goes around comes back again,
That’s how stories always end.
Final Chorus
You wanted a boyfriend, not his heart,
He wanted a trophy from the start,
Now you’re trapped in the role you chose,
Everybody knows, everybody knows.
Princess wearing paper gold,
Fairy tales are getting old,
If love was real, it’d still survive,
But status love will never thrive.
Outro
No winner here, no happy end,
Just two people playing pretend,
One wanted attention, one wanted a prize,
Now they’re both living inside their lies.
