Narcissist
Hedley · Never Too Late [2009]
The has-been high school hero
He's first in line in his own mind
And doesn't care about the rest
A handsome half-wit zero
He'll be your friend until the end
If you're the coolest and the best
PRE-CHORUS
He falls in love with his reflection in the glass
He can't resist who's staring back
CHORUS
He makes a case
That all you've ever needed is a pretty face
But the bottom line about it is a
"Never was" is all he'll ever be
He can't resist the paranoid delusions of a narcissist
It doesn't matter anyway cause he's a self-fulfilling prophecy
Of make believe
She's a suburban princess
She's had it all since she was small
And sucking on a silver spoon
Another gold card purchase
This daddy's girl thinks the whole world
Revolves around her like the moon
Each day's her film premiere where all the boys will stare
She pretends she doesn't care
CHORUS
She makes a case
That all you've ever needed is a pretty face
But the bottom line about it is a
"Never was" is all she'll ever be
She can't resist the paranoid delusions of a narcissist
It doesn't matter anyway cause she's a self-fulfilling prophecy
Of make believe, of make believe, of make believe
And on the day he met her
The high pretension of their
Love connection all but sealed the deal
Happily ever after
Who better for each other
Than another candidate to
CHORUS
Make a case
That all you've ever needed is a pretty face
But the bottom line about it is a
"Never was" is all they'll ever be
They can't resist the paranoid delusions of a narcissist
But they're together anyway and share their self-obsessed reality
We can't resist the paranoid delusions of a narcissist
It doesn't matter anyway cause we're all self-fulfilling prophecies
Of make believe, of make believe
Of make believe, of make believe
He's first in line in his own mind
And doesn't care about the rest
A handsome half-wit zero
He'll be your friend until the end
If you're the coolest and the best
