Fake It

(album: Ghosts Of Youth - 2018)

Your friends are in town
They want me to go out
So I'll go but just so you can see them
Cold cups of coffee where you sit across me
And I wonder if you know how I'm feeling

I'll hide it if it helps
Keeping you from someone else
'Cause it's hard to save yourself if you're alone
I can hold you in the dark
Even though I fall apart
Doesn't have to feel so hard to feel so low

So I'm smiling through my teeth
Say things I don't mean
If that's what you need, If it helps you sleep
I could fake it, I could fake it
I might lie awake next to you and think
There just ain't enough love for both of us but
I could fake it, I could fake it
I could fake it, I could fake it

I'm holding onto an old me and old you
And hoping we'll become what it used to be
You want me to want you and trust me, I want to
So meet me in the middle where I'm still tryna figure it out

I'll hide it if it helps
Keeping you from someone else
'Cause it's hard to save yourself if you're alone
I can hold you in the dark
Even though we'll fall apart
Doesn't have to feel so hard to feel so low

So I'm smiling through my teeth
Say things I don't mean
If that's what you need, If it helps you sleep
I could fake it, I could fake it
I might lie awake next to you and think
There just ain't enough love for both of us but
I could fake it, I could fake it
I could fake it, I could fake it
I could fake it, I could fake it

So I'm smiling through my teeth
Say things I don't mean
If that's what you need, If it helps you sleep
I could fake it, I could fake it
I might lie awake next to you and think
There just ain't enough love for both of us but
I could fake it, I could fake it
I could fake it, I could fake it
I could fake it, I could fake it
