All my friends ask how I am
Since you packed your bags and went away
And I just say I'm ok
I shrug my shoulders like it's no big deal
Smiling like I barely feel a thing
Funny thing is

Everybody buys it
No one thinks I'm lying

I deserve an Oscar
For acting like I'm not hurt
If you're hearing rumors that I'm over you
That ain't true, babe
But if this was a movie
I'd deserve an Oscar

Thanks to the academy
I'll just be here practicing my speech
Secretly, I've been dreaming 'bout you
Got a spot up on my shelf
Looks like I've convinced everyone else
But myself

I deserve an Oscar
For acting like I'm not hurt
If you're hearing rumors that I'm over you
That ain't true, babe
But if this was a movie
I'd deserve an Oscar

I know the script, I memorized it
But I don't know how long I can act
I know the script, I memorized it
But I don't know how long I can act
Like I don't want you back

I deserve an Oscar
For acting like I'm not hurt
If you're hearing rumors that I'm over you
That ain't true, babe
But if this was a movie
I'd deserve an Oscar
I'd deserve an Oscar
