Fake Love

glow. [Verse 1] I wore your promises like a coat of gold, Walked through the crowd, but warmth grew cold. You whispered forever, then stitched a lie, Truth in your gaze faded when I asked why. [Pre-Chorus] I learned to read the smiles that never reach the eyes, When love comes cheap, the truth always buys its price. [Chorus] This is fake love, a mask I can't trust, You sing me sweet lies, but I know they're rust. Take back the words, leave the person I was, Fake love fades out, truth rises from the dust. [Verse 2] I trace the signs you hid in a smile and a touch, The chorus of your alibis saying "it's not too much." I woke to the silence where your vows used to glow, Real love is rare; your "us" didn't show. [Chorus] This is fake love, a mask I can't trust, You sing me sweet lies, but I know they're rust. Take back the words, leave the person I was, Fake love fades out, truth rises from the dust. [Bridge] I break the thread of your sleeved alibis, I lift the mirror and see through all the lies. New daylight breathing, a heart learning to rise, From the ashes of "us", I find my own skies. [Chorus] This is fake love, a mask I can't trust, You sing me sweet lies, but I know they're rust. Take back the words, leave the person I was, Fake love fades out, truth rises from the dust. [Outro] Morning arrives with a clearer view, I'm learning to love me again, through and through.
