Fake It Till You Break

Verse 1:

I used to write my name in honest ink,

Now it’s just a logo, blurred and pink.

Traded my soul for a standing ovation,

But the applause don’t heal the degradation.

Pre-Chorus:

Spin the story, sell the lie,

Dress the wound but it won’t dry.

I’m the queen of a hollow scene,

But the crown’s too tight—can’t breathe, can’t scream.

Chorus:

From authentic to vulgar,

Just to feel like I’m enough.

Painted fire but it’s only rust,

Love’s a drug—I can’t get drunk enough.

Hey-hey, hey-hey!

Fake it bright, fake it loud,

But the echo’s getting hollow now…

Verse 2:

Lips are sweet but the teeth are sharp,

Every "yes" was a cry in the dark.

I built a castle out of "maybe’s",

Now I’m the ghost in my own fantasy.

Bridge:

Who’s left when the filters fade?

Just a girl who forgot her own name.

I kissed the mirror, it cracked my skin—

Now the real me can’t get back in…

Final Chorus:

From authentic to vulgar,

That’s the cost of the spotlight’s touch.

Danced so hard in a diamond dust,

Now my heart’s just bleeding glitter…

Hey-hey, hey-hey!

Fake it bright, fake it loud,

But the echo’s gone now.

Outro:

Passé… passé…

Was the real me ever really me?
