Fake It
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well I'm not gonna lie, how can I put this easy?
I try and try, but what for just to please you?
It's true, you're wasting my time, you're just a waste of time
And I don't see why
I should listen to someone who can't listen to themselves
Just listen to yourself
Fake it, you'll never get ahead of it
Trace it, back to where we started 'cause
Back track, baby, back tracking never got you nothing
(One step forward and two steps back)
And if you fake it, they'll never know your real name
Trace it, just to find it's such a shame you
Wasted your chance
Tasted everything before you ever held it
Well I was never gonna complain but why should I
Hold back when I wanted to be on your side?
You're wasting my time you're just a waste of time
And now I can see, all you wanted was just a chance
To be in the spotlight, well baby it's not right
And sincerely I'm sick and tired
Fake it, you'll never get ahead of it
Trace it, back to where we started 'cause
Back track, baby, back tracking never got you nothing
(One step forward and two steps back)
And if you fake it, they'll never know your real name
Trace it, just to find it's such a shame you
Wasted your chance
Tasted everything before you ever held it in your hands
They're shaking now, don't break it now
We'll break it down is this clear enough?
You're shaking now, don't break it now, we'll break it down
You're shaking now, don't break it now, we'll break it down
Everybody jump, everybody say whoa
Everybody's swaying, everybody say whoa
Everybody jump, everybody say whoa
Everybody's swaying, everybody say whoa
Fake it, you'll never get ahead of it
Trace it, back to where we started 'cause
Back track, baby, back tracking never got you nothing
(One step forward and two steps back)
And if you fake it, they'll never know your real name
Trace it, just to find it's such a shame you
Wasted your chance
Tasted everything before you ever held it in your hands
Wasted your chance
Tasted everything before you ever held it in your hands
