[Verse 1]
There I was, flyin' so high
Tellin' myself I'm havin' a good time
After the party, I got my hands tied
I'm treadin' water, tryin' to stay dry

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm out of time 'cause I lied too long
Gotta clear my mind, gotta clear my mind

[Chorus]
Because I got fake love
It fades like makeup
It's slippin' from my skin
And showin' all my sins
I got too much coverup
Never wear enough
Bound to break and bend
'Cause that's just who I am

[Post-Chorus]
Tell me what you thinkin'
I don't care 'cause I already know
Got flaws, imperfections, I'm aware
But I don't need that fake love
Fake love, fake love, fake love, fake love
[Verse 2]
I gotta stop gettin' so low
Tellin' myself I'm better than I know
Be independent, let that shit sink in
Hold it forever and always believe it

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm out of time 'cause I lied too long
Gotta clear my mind, gotta clear my mind

[Chorus]
Because I got fake love
It fades like makeup
It's slippin' from my skin
And showin' all my sins
I got too much coverup
Never wear enough
Bound to break and bend
'Cause that's just who I am

[Post-Chorus]
Tell me what you thinkin'
I don't care 'cause I already know
Got flaws imperfections, I'm aware
But I don't need that fake love
Fake love, fake love, fake love, fake love
