Verse 1]
Put on a smile, but it hurts inside
Covering up the truth that I try to hide
Walking on glass, stepping on eggshells
Playing the game that I know so well
They want perfection, they want it clean
Living inside of a make-believe scene
But underneath it all I'm breaking down
Wearing a crown that is spinning around
[Pre-Chorus]
Look at me, but don't look deep
Promise that I'll keep
Everything that I feel asleep
Just swallow the words, don't make a sound
Turn it all around
[Chorus]
I fake it, I fake it
Smile until my face it
Breaking, shaking, can you relate it?
I fake it, I fake it
Acting like I made it
But I'm just hollow, yeah I'm just naked
I fake it, I fake it
[Verse 2 - The Rap]
Yo, check it
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the real one after all?
Is it me or is it just a clone?
Sitting on a throne made of stone
Acting tough when I'm feeling weak
Speaking loud when I cannot speak
Social mask, plastic glass
Every move is made to last
Photograph, color edit, filter out the static
Make it look automatic, make it look fantastic
But the battery is low, the signal is gone
I'm singing the same old song
Do this, do that, nod your head
Pretend that everything is said
I'm living in a simulation
Running out of patience
[Pre-Chorus]
Look at me, but don't look deep
Promise that I'll keep
Everything that I feel asleep
Just swallow the words, don't make a sound
Turn it all around
[Chorus]
I fake it, I fake it
Smile until my face it
Breaking, shaking, can you relate it?
I fake it, I fake it
Acting like I made it
But I'm just hollow, yeah I'm just naked
I fake it, I fake it
