fake friends

Lyrics

Verse 1
Smiles when I’m around, talks when I’m gone
Says I’m their favorite, but leaves me alone
When the lights go down and trouble comes near
Suddenly they vanish, disappear

I gave you my trust, gave you my time
Thought we were forever, thought you were mine
But words are just echoes, hollow and thin
You only stay close when there’s something to win

Pre-Chorus
You laugh at my jokes, but you laugh at me too
Act like you care, but you never do
I see through the mask, I see through the lie
Now I know the truth, I won’t ask why

Chorus
Now I know the truth
You don’t stay when it’s hard
Now I know the truth
You only come for the scars
Say my name, then you fold
Say you’re there, then you’re gone
Now I know the truth
I was never your home

Verse 2
You took what you needed, then slipped through the door
Left me with pieces all over the floor
You wore my secrets like they were yours
Then locked me outside when you wanted more

I watched you turn warm into cold
Turn every promise to cheap gold
I’m done pretending it didn’t sting
I’m done being your convenient thing

Pre-Chorus
You laugh at my jokes, but you laugh at me too
Act like you care, but you never do
I see through the mask, I see through the lie
Now I know the truth, I won’t ask why

Chorus
Now I know the truth
You don’t stay when it’s hard
Now I know the truth
You only come for the scars
Say my name, then you fold
Say you’re there, then you’re gone
Now I know the truth
I was never your home

Bridge
I don’t need your almost
I don’t need your late
I won’t keep a seat there
At your empty place

You can keep the shine
You can keep the show
I’ve got my own heartbeat
And I let you go

Final Chorus
Now I know the truth
You don’t stay when it’s hard
Now I know the truth
You only come for the scars
Say my name, then you fold
Say you’re there, then you’re gone
Now I know the truth
I was never your home
