[Verse 1]
See me on a screen
Paint me the way you want me to be
Tell me everything you think I need
Have your way with me
Oh, not trying to live life so bitter
No, I'm jaded, a hollow-point sinner
You would never believe anything I say
Unless you fed the words to me
(Cry in pain)
[Chorus]
Every time I try to say
The words I know you want from me
All I hear is a drowned-out cry
We all know, we all know
These fake love lies
(I know, you know)
We all know, we all know
These fake love lies
[Verse 2]
We've been here before
Attract what detracts 'til we can't feel no more
Where's your empathy?
I'm trying to breathe while you're pulling my every string
(Let me be)
[Chorus]
Every time I try to say
The words I know you want from me
All I hear is a drowned-out cry
We all know, we all know
These fake love lies
[Post-Chorus]
(I know, you know)
We all know, we all know
These fake love lies
(I know, you know)
We all know, we all know
These fake love lies
[Bridge]
And tell me where we go
I fear it's too late to say
I missed you more when you were here
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?
[Chorus]
Every time I try to say
The words I know you want from me
All I hear is a drowned-out cry
We all know, we all know
These fake love lies
[Post-Chorus]
(I know, I know, you know)
We all know, we all know
These fake love lies
(I know, I know, you know, you know)
We all know, we all know
These fake love lies
[Outro]
(I know, you know)
(We know these fake love lies)
(I know, you know)
(We know these fake love lies)
