Fontaine ~ Don’t Fake It

I saw you standing across the room I could tell they were on your nerves You tried to leave; they gave you no room So I stepped in before it got worse I kept my voice low But I made one thing clear If they won’t give you space, I’ll make it I’ll get you the hell out of here You don’t owe them a smile—don’t fake it We’ll be gone while they’re still standing there It might be a hallway after class A party getting out of hand A stranger who won’t let you pass Or friends who won’t understand You don’t need a reason Just tell me when you’re ready If they won’t give you space, I’ll make it I’ll get you the hell out of here You don’t owe them a smile—don’t fake it We’ll be gone while they’re still standing there A sister, brother, spouse, or friend A parent waiting by the phone The right ones help you leave, not bend And never make you walk alone If no one else can come God is still there by your side If they won’t give you space, I’ll make it I’ll get you the hell out of here You don’t owe them a smile—don’t fake it We’ll be gone while they’re still standing there
