fake friends

Lyrics

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
Fake friends, fake smiles, fake everything
Only there when the sun is shining bright
Walk away when the storm begins to blow
Fake friends, I don’t need you anymore
Fake love, fake words, fake company
You were never really there for me
Now I see it clear, now I understand
Better alone than with a fake friend
