Johnny Manchild & The Poor Bastards
Fake Me Out
[Verse 1]
Every day's another powder keg
Waiting, wanting to go off
I haven’t met a moment free of it
The sense of something going wrong
Something deeper underneath the skin
I carried with me all along
I never seem to keep control of it
Every time I think it’s gone
I am wrong
I am wrong
[Chorus]
Fake me out, take me for a heartbreak
I’m happier than I’ve ever been
Make me the center of attention
Get me out, let me be alone again
I love you like I never knew how
I hate you so much it makes me sick
I’m begging for another way out
I’m dying for another way back in
[Post-Chorus]
And I forget just what I wrote
The step by step to comin' home
And can we let this all go
Will I regret, can I move on
[Verse 2]
Man oh man, you ain’t seen nothin' yet
Watch me tumble, watch me go
Watch me fade behind a cigarette
Follow me into the low
[Bridge]
We can go where you won’t
Even know me anymore
We can go into the low
[Chorus]
Fake me out, take me for a heartbreak
I’m happier than I’ve ever been
Make me the center of attention
Get me out, let me be alone again
I love you like I never knew how
I hate you so much it makes me sick
I’m begging for another way out
I’m dying for another way back
