Fake it ’til you make it, that’s what they say

Well I must’ve made it ’cause I’ve been faking every day

If being sad was a crime, I’d do time

If loneliness was a race, I’d be ahead by a mile

The year is 2026

I never thought it’d be like this

Watching the world become a place I used to know

With all these strangers on a screen

They’re all just staring back at me

I’m so connected but I still feel so alone

And inside I’m dying

But I hide it

With a picture-perfect smile

I post it online

Did you go like it?

Do I even like myself?

Fake it ’til you make it, that’s what they say

Well I must’ve made it ’cause I’ve been faking every day

If being sad was a crime, I’d do time

If loneliness was a race, I’d be ahead by a mile

Fake it ’til you make it, it’s not that hard

But every day that I fake it only breaks my heart

Don’t wanna do this and I can’t lie

I’m tired of faking I just wanna live my life

I tried every filter and facade

I swiped and scrolled ’til I could not

But in the end I just can’t seem to face the truth

I hate this superficial life

I hate how much I need the likes

This validation wasn’t worth my wasted youth

And inside I’m dying

But I hide it

With a picture-perfect smile

I post it online if

You don’t like it

Then I’ll just go take it down

Fake it ’til you make it, that’s what they say

Well I must’ve made it ’cause I’ve been faking every day

If being sad was a crime, I’d do time

If loneliness was a race, I’d be ahead by a mile

Fake it ’til you make it, it’s not that hard

But every day that I fake it only breaks my heart

Don’t wanna do this and I can’t lie

I’m tired of faking I just wanna live my life

And when you finally see

This mess inside of me

Have some patience, please

If I’m not who you thought I’d be

’Cause I’m not who you thought

I’d be

Fake it ’til you make it, that’s what they say

Well, I must’ve made it ’cause I’ve been faking every day

If being sad was a crime, I’d do time

If loneliness was a race, I’d be ahead by a mile

Fake it ’til you make it, it’s not that hard

And honestly I am ready for a brand new start

Don’t wanna do this and I can’t lie

I’m tired of faking I just wanna live my…
