Fake
Conditional Facades: Growing Apart from Conditional Bonds
Lyrics
When it was your 20th I gave you all my wishes
Expressing devotion by offering wishes on the 20th birthday.
And when the world crumbled, sent you love with no conditions
Sending unconditional love during difficult times.
I helped you up when you were down
Providing support when the person was feeling down.
I never thought about my health
Selflessly prioritizing the other person's well-being.
Then you told me I was selfish and I only cared about myself
Being accused of selfishness despite selfless actions.
This shit is so fake
Expressing dissatisfaction with the relationship's authenticity.
Only speak when you're needing something
Criticizing the other person for only communicating when they need something.
Shit is so fake
Reiterating the fakeness or insincerity of the relationship.
I'll be drifting away
Indicating a desire to distance oneself from the inauthentic connection.
Shit is so fake (Ah)
Reaffirming the artificial nature of the relationship.
Only first 'cos the others moved away
Suggesting a departure from the relationship due to others moving away.
Shit is so fake (Ah)
Emphasizing the inauthenticity with an exclamation (Ah).
Always had me feeling so out of place
Feeling out of place in the relationship and questioning its authenticity.
I'm not 17 no more
Reflecting on personal growth beyond the age of 17.
I have different things I worry for
Having different concerns and priorities now.
It's like you didn't grow up, now I don't relate
Not relating to the other person's lack of growth.
You're so conditional it's fake
Labeling the other person as conditional and fake.
(Ah)
Adding emphasis with an exclamation (Ah).
Few years down the line now I don't know who you are
Expressing confusion about the other person's identity over the years.
Used to tell you all my secrets now they just tear me apart
Regretting sharing secrets as it led to emotional pain.
I'd never say we could get this way
Denying the possibility of the relationship reaching this point.
So subliminal this shits not safe
Describing the relationship as subtly dangerous.
Just to be honest, I don't even wanna know where you turned to
Expressing a reluctance to know about the other person's current state.
Shit is so fake
Reiterating the fakeness or insincerity of the relationship.
When I wouldn't do the drugs you just turned away
Facing rejection for refusing to engage in substance abuse.
Shit is so fake
Highlighting the artificiality of the relationship.
I just wanted conversation not just partying
Expressing a desire for meaningful conversation instead of just partying.
Shit is so fake (Ah)
Reiterating the inauthentic nature with an exclamation (Ah).
Only first 'cos the others moved away
Suggesting a departure from the relationship due to others moving away.
Shit is so fake (Ah)
Emphasizing the inauthenticity with an exclamation (Ah).
Always had me feeling so out of place
Feeling out of place in the relationship and questioning its authenticity.
I'm not 17 no more
Reflecting on personal growth beyond the age of 17.
I have different things I worry for
Having different concerns and priorities now.
It's like you didn't grow up, now I don't relate
Not relating to the other person's lack of growth.
You're so conditional it's fake
Labeling the other person as conditional and fake.
