Hard To Fake It

(album: Smiling Like An Idiot - 2022)

We were in the upstairs bar
Pissing off the engineer
Waiting for the band to break
How do we get out of here?
And I was following your lead
Walking aimless on the Quays
Well maybe you could love me back
But I know there's no guarantees

Talk to the Americans
Point 'em back to their hotel
You don't gotta leave just yet
Oh it's such an easy sell
The city felt like ours
Coming up by Trinity
But you don't gotta show me any cards
'Cause we have an affinity

Hard to pretend
Oh why d'you think I stayed 'til the end?
Oh why d'you think I'm taking all my time to make my mind up, baby?
Hard to pretend

You know I'm not like this with anybody else
D'you think I'm standing in the rain for the good of my health?
You know I'm not like this with anybody else
I can't even fool myself

Hard to pretend
Oh why d'you think I stayed 'til the end?
Oh why d'you think I'm taking all my time to make my mind up, baby?
Hard to pretend

Hard to pretend
Oh why d'you think I stayed 'til the end?
Oh why d'you think I'm taking all my time to make my mind up, baby?
Hard to pretend
