Fake love

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah… They say “I love you” just to see what they can take, huh. Now I’m numb to the word — ‘cause it always feels fake. --- [Verse 1] They call it love, but it’s lies in disguise, Sweet talk burnin’ with venom inside. Say they got your back, but they stab when you rise, Then they smile in your face while you bleed from the knife. I used to give my trust like a gift in gold, Till fake ones came and they stripped my soul. Now my heart’s got locks, I done sealed that door, ‘Cause “forever” don’t mean what it meant before. They only love you when they get somethin’ free, They only show up when they need sympathy. They fake the hurt, they fake the dream, Then ghost you fast like it’s Halloween. --- [Hook] Fake love — I done seen it too much, Every smile just a setup, every hug corrupt. Fake love — got me cold and numb, Now I’d rather be alone than be played by the one. Fake love — all pain, no peace, They lie through lips that say “I need.” Fake love — yeah, I learned that theme, They only show heart when they’re on your team. --- [Verse 2] I remember nights when I prayed for truth, Thought maybe love could still break through. But this world breeds wolves in the church pews, And they’ll use your heart till there’s nothin’ to lose. Every “I miss you” comes with strings, Every “I’m sorry” just resets things. They say “change,” but they still play games, And you’re left in the fire while they walk away. Now I keep my circle tight, my faith in check, Ain’t fallin’ for the bait or the soft-text traps. ‘Cause fake love smiles when it’s cuttin’ your back, And real love don’t ask what it’s gettin’ back. --- [Hook] Fake love — I done seen it too much, Every smile just a setup, every hug corrupt. Fake love — got me cold and numb, Now I’d rather be alone than be played by the one. Fake love — all pain, no peace, They lie through lips that say “I need.” Fake love — yeah, I learned that theme, They only show heart when they’re on your team. --- [Bridge] Used to think love could fix this pain, But I see now, it just feeds the game. They say “trust me,” then twist your name, And laugh while they’re walkin’ away in shame. I got scars that don’t fade with time, Each one a lesson I paid in rhyme. They can’t fake truth, they can’t fake grind, So I turn that hurt to a battle cry. --- [Outro] Fake love — yeah, I see through that smoke, You ain’t real if it’s just for show. I don’t need your pity, I don’t need hope, I just need peace in the path I chose. So if you say you love me, then show that trust, If not, don’t say nothin’ — I’ve had enough. Fake love’s poison, I’ve tasted enough, Now I’m buildin’ my world on real, not bluff.
