(Verse 1) Checking your phone, you’re in your own world I’m sitting right here, but I’m just a girl To you, I’m a ghost, a shadow in the room While you’re chasing the high, and I’m chasing the gloom You walk like you’re single, you talk like you’re free But when the lights go down, you’re leaning on me It’s a performance, a play, a masquerade And I’m the one paying for the choices you made (Chorus) Fake love, it’s a bitter pill to swallow Fake love, leaving me feeling hollow You’re a king in public, but a ghost at home Leaving me stranded, feeling all alone Fake love, it’s a game you’re playing well But I’m the one living in this private hell (Verse 2) You don’t see her tears, you don’t feel her pain You’re too busy dancing in your own little rain she's the one who listens, the one who’s always there While you’re out there acting like you just don’t care she gives into the silence, she'll avoid the fight Just to keep the peace, just to make it right But she losing herself in your arrogance and pride And there’s nowhere left for her to run and hide (Chorus) Fake love, it’s a bitter pill to swallow Fake love, leaving me feeling hollow You’re a king in public, but a ghost at home Leaving me stranded, feeling all alone Fake love, it’s a game you’re playing well But I’m the one living in this private hell (Bridge) Inconsiderate, oblivious, out of touch I’m giving you everything, but it’s never enough You’re disconnected, a million miles away And I’m just the one who’s forced to stay I’m disappearing, fading into the night While you’re still basking in your own spotlight (Chorus) Fake love, it’s a bitter pill to swallow Fake love, leaving me feeling hollow You’re a king in public, but a ghost at home Leaving me stranded, feeling all alone Fake love, it’s a game you’re playing well But I’m the one living in this private hell (Outro) Fake love... Just a shadow of what it should be... Fake love... And it’s killing me... Slowly losing myself... In your fake love... (fake love) yeah (fake love) (fade out)
