Fake Love

(album: Barstool Whiskey Wonderland - 2022)

Fake love runs on jealousy and drama
Won't go home to meet your mama
Looks okay from the outside
Fake love feels like forcing puzzle pieces
Hangs around just for convenience
Always ends in a goodbye
It ain't patient, it ain't kind
Shows its colors over time

This ain't that, that ain't us
We got truth, we got trust
You know that it's the real thing
When it wraps its arms around you
I've been there, down that road
Trying to feel something I don't
But it's been fading in the rear-view since the moment that I found you
Now I get it, you can make it
You can fall in it
But you can't just fake love

Never says I'm sorry
Keeps wondering what are we
When you sleep right by their side
Fake love don't feel like it can be honest
But if you're really honest
You know when it isn't right

This ain't that, that ain't us
We got truth, we got trust
You know that it's the real thing
When it wraps its arms around you
I've been there, down that road
Trying to feel something I don't
But it's been fading in the rear-view since the moment that I found you
Now I get it, you can make it
You can fall in it
But you can't just fake love
Fake love (fake love)

You can call any rock a diamond
Pretend the sky ain't blue
Just because you say it
Doesn't make it true

This ain't that, that ain't us
We got truth, we got trust
You know that it's the real thing
When it wraps its arms around you
I've been there, down that road
Trying to feel something I don't
But it's been fading in the rear-view since the moment that I found you
Now I get it, you can make it
You can fall in it
But you can't just fake love
Fake love
