Just cos you're not the centre of attention 
It doesn't mean that you'll be alone 
Self reflection is an asset not a let down 
So forgot those doubts 

I'm tired of having to look good 
Pretend that we feel good 
Never let it show that we could 
Be anything less [bad word] obsessed 
With the contents of our wallets and the way that we're dressed 
Some people are living lies now 
Rather than facing the [bad word] some people getting high now. 

Keeping up appearances 
I'm never able to let go 
Yet I call myself a friend 
You say you do but you don't know 
You still feel you have to pretend 
I'm never able to let go 
So how can I be a friend 
We say we do but we don't know 
Cos we always have to pretend

Just cos you're not the centre of attention 
It doesn't mean that you'll be alone 
Self reflection is an asset not a let down 
So forgot those doubts 

Some people are living lies now 
Rather than facing the [bad word] some people getting high now 
rather than facing the [bad word] 
Some people are living lies now 
Rather than facing the [bad word] some people getting high now. 

Keeping up appearances 
I'm never able to let go 
Yet I call myself a friend 
You say you do but you don't know 
You still feel you have to pretend 
I'm never able to let go 
So how can I be a friend 
We say we do but we don't know 
Cos we always have to pretend

Just cos you're not the centre of attention
Just cos you're not the centre of attention
Just cos you're not the centre of attention
Just cos you're not the centre of attention
