Faking Love

Another year, another heartbreak

To think that times would start to change

Is two more months enough to make you

Wonder what you've thrown away?

I hear your voice beneath the floorboards

Ten feet down, you're having fun

Making eyes in all directions

While I'm upstairs faking love

While I'm upstairs faking love

It takes a certain kind of person

To paint with every given shade

I am not the type to marry

I am not the type to change

It hurts my heart when I am with you

Takes me everything I've got

To walk the walk, To talk the talk

To love you with all the lights on

While I'm upstairs faking love

While I'm upstairs faking love

But when the night begins

I hope you let me in

I cannot fight you off

(While I'm upstairs faking love)

I let the needle spin

I let the water fall

And the the britches breathe

I need to smoke this out

(While I'm upstairs faking love)

Get me some clarity

(While I'm upstairs faking love)

I can't help but think

If you were up above

There'd be no need for me

(While I'm upstairs faking love)

To be here faking love

But when the night begins

I hope you let me in

(Another year, another heartbreak)

I cannot fight you off

(While I'm upstairs faking love)

I let the needle spin

(To think that times would start to change)

I let the water fall

And the the britches breathe

(Is two more months enough to make you)

I need to smoke this out

(While I'm upstairs faking love)

Get me some clarity

(Wonder what you've thrown away?)

But if the walls could talk

I'd ask them not to speak

(I hear your voice beneath the floorboards)

For fear that they might spill

(While I'm upstairs faking love)

And tell me where you sleep

(Ten feet down, you're having fun)

Still I can't help but think

If you were up above

(Making eyes in all directions)

There'd be no need for me

To be here faking love

(While I'm upstairs faking love)

(While I'm upstairs faking love)
