Combing your hair
Tell you what you need to hear
I'm the one you run to
Hold you in the dark
Quoting self-help books like it is art
I'm the one who's got it figured out
They never understand
Why I always run away
When it gets too good
They never see it coming
I'm the fire in the storm
But I am damaged goods
Keep on faking
Like I mean it
Uh Uh
Keep on faking
Like I mean it
Uh Uh
I'm too expensive to break
All your problems I can take
I always put you first
I forget that coming second hurts
It's a matter of time
Before I break down and cry
Become dependent on me
You don't stop, wonder why
I never take my own advice
My words are nothing but a lie
They never understand
Why I always run away
When I was getting good
Keep on faking
Like I mean it
Uh Uh
Keep on faking
Like I mean it
Uh Uh
I forgot how it feels
Sell you dreams that aren't real
Building on a lie
It gets me through the darker times
I forgot how it feels
Sell you dreams that aren't real
Building on a lie
Gets me through the darker times
Wish I could erase how it hurts
But I just never forget
Keep on faking
(Say it like it is but I keep on faking)
Like I mean it
Uh Uh
(Again again again again again)
Keep on faking
(Say it like it is so maybe I'll believe it)
Like I mean it
Uh Uh
(Again again again again)
