[Verse 1] You think you fake I can see it in your grin Older I get I learn the shape you live in Older I get The more I read your moves The more I learn The less I need your proof You talk big talk Then you duck when it gets rough Slick on the surface But the truth keeps coming up I watched the mask slip When the room got cold Same tired script Same cheap little role [Pre-Chorus] The more I learn The more I know I been around I seen that show The more I know The more it stings All these clowns And all these strings [Chorus] You think you fake You think you fake You fake, you fake That’s all you make We’re all in this This messed-up show But you fake And I know You think you fake You think you fake You fake, you fake And it shows [Verse 2] Now I don’t fold I don’t play that part I keep my word Even when it’s hard You want applause I want the real thing You want a crown I want a clean name You in the crowd Laughing loud at pain I see the cracks In your gold-frame game I took the hits And I kept my face You chase the shine I chase a place Where the talk don’t bend Where the line stays straight Where a man can stand Without your fake [Pre-Chorus] The more I learn The more I know I seen the lies I seen them grow The more I know The less I care If you bring that act I’m not there [Chorus] You think you fake You think you fake You fake, you fake That’s all you make We’re all in this This messed-up show But you fake And I know You think you fake You think you fake You fake, you fake And it shows [Bridge] Yeah, we all got scars Yeah, we all got names But some of y’all Just love the games I’m not mad I’m just awake You keep the costume I’ll keep the weight [Final Chorus] You think you fake You think you fake You fake, you fake That’s all you make We’re all in this This messed-up show But you fake And I know You think you fake You think you fake You fake, you fake And it shows
