Fake It

(album: Over It - 2021)

Okay you've got me right where you want me
I feel a storm overhead, right above me
I try to stay calm as I'm losing composure
Everything's wrong, I just wish this was over
Cause you don't know me or the way I operate
I've got my own dreams, don't need you to motivate
But I know I need you, it's so hard to please you
Stab me in the back, watch you laugh as I bleed through

Oh my God
I couldn't call on you
I'd rather call this off, whoa
But you said, you said
"Okay, I know we're gonna make it"
If you're faking, fake it
But you can speak for yourself
I need some time on my own
I don't need anything else, oh
But you said, you said
"Okay, I know we're gonna make it"
If you're faking, fake it

Okay I'm falling
So far away from
The place that I used to be
But I can't say much
'Cause I
I brought it on myself
I don't know why
I do this every time
I swear that I'm the one to blame again
Fix it up with medicine
Doing everything I can
Just ain't enough, it's evident
I'm burning alive, caught in your lies
Watch all the time pass by
You never tried to make it alright
Sat back and laughed, and said it was fine

Oh my God
I couldn't call on you
I'd rather call this off, whoa
But you said, you said
"Okay, I know we're gonna make it"
If you're faking, fake it
But you can speak for yourself
I need some time on my own
I don't need anything else, oh
But you said, you said
"Okay, I know we're gonna make it"
If you're faking, fake it

Well, okay, alright
I need a sign of life
I need to see you care
I need to hear you fight
I want to breathe the air
I want to live my life
I'm 'bout to spark the flame and watch it all ignite
Because you don't love me or the way I operate
I've got my own life, don't need you to compensate

But oh my God
I couldn't call on you
I'd rather call this off, whoa
But you said, you said
"Okay, I know we're gonna make it"
If you're faking, fake it
But you can speak for yourself
I need some time on my own
I don't need anything else, oh
But you said, you said
"Okay, I know we're gonna make it"
If you're faking, fake it

You don't know me or the way I operate
I've got my own dreams, don't need you to motivate
(If you're faking, fake it)
