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?
