Fake

The only thing that's real,
Is you and me right now. Together, face to face, breath in breath out.

The rest of it is faked. Fake lashes, fake names, fake words.
Fake feelings.
We know what the world wants to see.
Professor, Coach, Friend, Mommy and Daddy.

We put on until we almost believe.
Put on for the girls, put on for the boys.
The girls put out for the boys.
The boys put up with the girls.
The girls pretend it doesn't hurt,
The boys pretend they don't care.
We're all just faking it.

No experience, fresh out of school.
Preaching to the interviewer like we know what to do.
Best friends hurt, don't know what to say,
Mouth keeps on moving anyways.

Face to face, breath to breath. The only thing that's real.
