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)
