How long can you fake it?

[Verse 1] You wear that smile too neat Like it came pre-ironed Same old line, same soft seat But your hands keep pulling You say, "I'm fine, don't ask" And you dodge the mirror I can hear the lines crack Every time you hear her [Pre-Chorus] So tell me now When does it end? How much longer Till it gives in? [Chorus] How long, how long? How long can you fake it? How long, how long? How long till you break it? I see it through I see through That forced calm How long, how long? How long can you fake it? [Verse 2] You laugh at the right time But your eyes don't join in You keep the house spotless Like the mess won't find you I know that look too well I've been there before you Wearing paper-thin hell Trying hard to hold through [Pre-Chorus] So tell me now When does it bend? How much longer Till it gives in? [Chorus] How long, how long? How long can you fake it? How long, how long? How long till you break it? I see it through I see through That barely managed calm How long, how long? How long can you fake it? [Bridge] Take off the mask now Let it hit the floor You shouldn’t have to act strong For the sake of passion One glitch, one truth Say what hurt you most I can stay right here While the whole thing goes… Awry [Final Chorus] How long, how long? How long can you fake it? How long, how long? How long till you break it? I see through I see through That stolen calm How long, how long? How long can you fake it? [Outro] Don’t you even… Not even.. Dare to make me dream Make me hope Just to take 'em away 🔏 © 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗘𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘇
