[Verse 1]
Lip gloss
Big talk
You love when all their heads turn
I laugh
I clap back
Pretend my cheeks don’t burn
You flirt
I fake a yawn
Like I’m too bored to care
But I’m counting every look
Every whisper in the air
[Chorus]
Don’t play with my fake heart
Fake heart (hey!)
It looks so cold
But it breaks so hard
I brag I’d never fall apart
But I’d die if you drag me through the dark
So don’t you dare make a scene
Turn my crown into a scar
Touch my pride and you’ll see
How real it is
This fake heart
[Verse 2]
You joke
“Relax
Babe”
While you pour another drink
You know I run this room
But you’re closer than you think
I act like I’m above it
Like I’m living in a meme
But one loud lie from you
And I’ll shatter at the seams
[Chorus]
Don’t play with my fake heart
Fake heart (oh!)
It looks so cold
But it breaks so hard
I brag I’d never fall apart
But I’d die if you drag me through the dark
So don’t you dare make a scene
Turn my crown into a scar
Touch my pride and you’ll see
How real it is
This fake heart
[Bridge]
If you love me
Keep it clever
Make me look untouchable forever
You can hurt me in the car
In the dark
But in public
You protect my armor
Swear to me
Cross your heart
Kiss my hand like a promise
Darling
One wrong move
I walk out laughing
Then cry in the back of the cab
[Chorus]
Don’t play with my fake heart
Fake heart (hey!)
It looks so cold
But it breaks so hard
I brag I’d never fall apart
But I’d die if you drag me through the dark
So don’t you dare make a scene
Turn my crown into a scar
Touch my pride and you’ll see
How real it is
This fake heart
[Outro]
So don’t you dare make a scene
I’d rather leave than fall apart
Smile on
Lashes clean
You’ll never see
My fake heart
