Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You were tracing constellations on my arm Saying you’d never let me go All our plans in coffee-stained notebooks Folded in my drawer back home You were laughing at my worst jokes Eyes already somewhere else I was trying to read the silence You were turning into someone else [Pre-Chorus] All those late-night drives Where were you really going? Every “I’m just tired” Had a story you weren’t showing [Chorus] Fake love You wore it like a dress that didn’t fit you Pulled the seams until it split in two Fake love You kissed me with your eyes already closed Holding on to what you’d outgrown Fake love Fake love [Verse 2] All the messages you didn’t answer All the weekends “caught up at work” Every hug that hovered at my shoulder Felt you flinch like it kinda hurt You were posting pictures at a party Saying you were home in bed I was lying to my own reflection Just to match the lies you fed [Pre-Chorus] All those almost truths Dangling in the air You said “nothing’s wrong” But your heart was never there [Chorus] Fake love You wore it like a dress that didn’t fit you Pulled the seams until it split in two Fake love You kissed me with your eyes already closed Holding on to what you’d outgrown Fake love Fake love [Bridge] I still keep your letters in a shoebox Proof that once you meant it when you stayed Now I read between the lines and see it Every promise slowly fading gray Did you ever really see me? Or just a shape you needed then? I was falling I was all in You were halfway at the end [Chorus] Fake love You wore it like a dress that didn’t fit you Pulled the seams until it split in two Fake love You kissed me with your eyes
