[Verse]
Whispers in the shadows of the neon night
Telling tales they never lived all dressed in white
Lies drip from their tongues like honey from a hive
But I stand tall cuz I'm just trying to survive
[Verse 2]
They look through me like a faded old photograph
Pretending to care with counterfeit laughs
But I'm no puppet on their tangled string
I'm a wild card in their poker game of bling
[Chorus]
Fake friends can't see the truth in me
They wade in shallow water while I dive deep sea
Won't lose my soul to their charade
Got a heart of gold they can't degrade
[Verse 3]
Rumors swirl like smoke in a crowded bar
They fabricate stories but they won’t go far
I'm a beacon in the fog I won't play their game
Their jealousy won't put out my flame
[Bridge]
They’re made of plastic with empty eyes
Wearing personas like a flimsy disguise
But underneath I'm real and you'll see
The grit and the fire that burns in me
[Chorus]
Fake friends can't see the truth in me
They wade in shallow water while I dive deep sea
Won’t lose my soul to their charade
Got a heart of gold they can't degrade
