Robert

Robert, you always loved the spotlight

Playing the lead in your own mind

A sweet talker in the middle of the night

But your reflection is the only love you'd find

You spun a web of velvet words so deep

Thought you were the smartest man in the room

Making promises you never planned to keep

While you were hiding secrets in the gloom

You really thought you were so slick

Lying to me about your new girlfriend

But I saw right through the magic trick

And brought your little movie to an end

A liar, a cheater, just playing a part

I'm glad your true colors finally freed my heart

I walked right up to your front door

Didn't expect the scene I'd find inside

Another girl standing on your hardwood floor

The sudden silence where you tried to hide

You stumbled on your lines, you lost your grace

The narcissist with nowhere left to go

I saw the panic flash across your face

The final episode of your one-man show

You really thought you were so slick

Lying to me about your new girlfriend

But I saw right through the magic trick

And brought your little movie to an end

A liar, a cheater, just playing a part

I'm glad your true colors finally freed my heart

I'm so glad the mask slipped off that day

I'm so glad I caught you in the act

I can softly turn and walk away

And I don't ever plan on looking back

Keep your illusions, keep your empty pride

I'm leaving all your heavy lies behind

'Cause you really thought you were so slick

Lying to me about your new girlfriend

But I saw right through the magic trick

And brought your little movie to an end

Oh Robert, the actor, you played your part

I'm glad your true colors finally freed my heart

Yeah, your true colors finally set me free
