Who Is Fancy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my Sunday best
Black tears in my eyes
You were my first love
You were my only one
I can't believe your lies
Once we were like bottle rockets
Now I know I have to stop it
Please believe me
This isn't easy
I just need to say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Losin' my mind
Goodbye
You got a new friend
You like to play pretend
I'm just keepin' my cool
Turn on that smoke machine
Magic and make-believe
She'll never know you like I do
Once we were a fire burnin'
Now you're just a lesson I'm learnin'
Please believe me
This isn't easy
I just need to say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Losin' my mind
Goodbye
I know that I can find somebody
You won't ever find nobody else like me
I know that I can find somebody
You won't ever find nobody else like me
I know that I can find somebody
You won't ever find nobody else like me
I know that I can find somebody
You won't ever find nobody else like me
Once we were like bottle rockets
Now I know I have to stop it
Please believe me
This isn't easy
I just need to say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Losin' my mind
Goodbye

Turn on that smoke machine
You're creating an illusion to hide who you really are
Magic and make-believe
You're creating an unrealistic world as a way of coping with reality
She'll never know you like I do
The new person in your life won't ever be able to understand you like I did
I know that I can find somebody
I have hope that I will find someone new
You won't ever find nobody else like me
I believe that I am truly unique and that you'll never find someone like me again
