Fake Love
Afterboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You only ever call me when you're wasted
I'm sick of always feeling like I ain't shit
All girls are the same
All girls are the same
Fake love
You only ever call me when you're wasted
I'm sick of always feeling like I ain't shit
All girls are the same
You got me feeling some way
I've been taking these drugs
Just to numb the pain
Got these demons in my brain
Wish that you would finally say
I can't take another day of this shit
I don't wanna fight
Won't you let me stay the night
I can't promise I won't lie
Just tell me it's alright
And I'll tell you it's the last time
Just tell me it's alright
'Cos we only got this one night
Can you hear me
Are you listening
'Cos it's over between you and me now
Fake love
You only ever call me when you're wasted
I'm sick of always feeling like I ain't shit
All girls are the same
All girls are the same
Fake love
You only ever call me when you're wasted
I'm sick of always feeling like I ain't shit
All girls are the same
All girls are the same
I always hate it when you say
That you and me should stay together
'Cos every time that I see you
You make me wanna stab my heart out
I don't wanna fight
I won't let you stay the night
'Cos you always fucking lie
And it's never been alright
And there will never be another night
'Cos I'm done with all the fights
And I'm sorry but it's over now
'Cos I really fucking hate your guts
Can you hear me
Are you listening
'Cos it's over between you and me now
Fake love
You only ever call me when you're wasted
I'm sick of always feeling like I ain't shit
All girls are the same
All girls are the same
Fake love
You only ever call me when you're wasted
I'm sick of always feeling like I ain't shit
All girls are the same
All girls are the same
The lyrics to Afterboy's song "Fake Love" express feelings of frustration, dissatisfaction, and emotional pain in a toxic relationship. The artist starts by addressing the person they are in a relationship with, highlighting that they only reach out when they are intoxicated, implying that their love is not genuine. This constant pattern of being contacted only when the other person is under the influence makes the artist feel insignificant and worthless.
The repetition of the phrase "All girls are the same" can be interpreted as the artist generalizing their negative experiences and feeling as though all romantic relationships are doomed to be insincere or hurtful. This suggests a sense of hopelessness and a lack of trust.
As the song progresses, the artist reveals their coping mechanisms, resorting to drugs to numb their emotional pain. They describe having demons in their mind and hoping that the person they are addressing would finally acknowledge their struggle and provide support. The artist expresses their desperation and need for reassurance, willing to go to great lengths just to feel accepted and loved.
There is a plea for understanding in the lines "I can't take another day of this shit, I don't wanna fight. Won't you let me stay the night?" The artist desires peace and stability in the relationship, asking for permission to resolve their issues harmoniously. However, they also acknowledge their own tendency to lie and recognize that the relationship's problems cannot be solved overnight.
Despite the longing for reconciliation, the artist confronts the reality of the situation and expresses their resentment towards their partner. They admit to hating the other person, feeling the urge to pull their heart out, which metaphorically signifies extreme emotional pain. Over time, the artist has become tired of the constant fighting and deceit, leading them to announce the end of the relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of "Fake Love" delve into the complexities of a troubled relationship, addressing themes of emotional manipulation, self-doubt, and the struggle to find genuine love. The song captures the emotions of frustration, resentment, and a desire to break free from a toxic cycle.

Fake love
The love you show me is not genuine
You only ever call me when you're wasted
You only reach out to me when you're intoxicated
I'm sick of always feeling like I ain't shit
I'm tired of constantly feeling worthless
All girls are the same
I believe all girls are alike in their actions
All girls are the same
I believe all girls are alike in their actions
You got me feeling some way
You make me feel a certain, indescribable emotion
I've been taking these drugs
I have been relying on drugs to cope
Just to numb the pain
In order to alleviate my suffering
Got these demons in my brain
I am battling inner demons and struggles
Wish that you would finally say
I desire for you to express your true feelings
I can't take another day of this shit
I cannot endure this situation any longer
I don't wanna fight
I don't wish to argue with you
Won't you let me stay the night
Could you allow me to spend the night with you
I can't promise I won't lie
I cannot guarantee that I won't deceive you
Just tell me it's alright
Simply reassure me that everything is fine
And I'll tell you it's the last time
In return, I will claim it as the final occurrence
Can you hear me
Are you capable of perceiving my words
Are you listening
Are you paying attention to what I am saying
'Cos it's over between you and me now
Because our connection has come to an end
I always hate it when you say
I consistently despise it when you utter
That you and me should stay together
That we should continue our relationship
'Cos every time that I see you
Because each time I encounter you
You make me wanna stab my heart out
You evoke a strong desire for self-harm
I won't let you stay the night
I refuse to allow you to spend the night
'Cos you always fucking lie
Because you consistently deceive
And it's never been alright
And it has never been acceptable
And there will never be another night
And there will never be another evening together
'Cos I'm done with all the fights
Because I am finished with all the arguments
And I'm sorry but it's over now
And I apologize, but our relationship has concluded
'Cos I really fucking hate your guts
Because I genuinely despise you
Can you hear me
Are you capable of perceiving my words
Are you listening
Are you paying attention to what I am saying
'Cos it's over between you and me now
Because our connection has come to an end
Fake love
The love you show me is not genuine
You only ever call me when you're wasted
You only reach out to me when you're intoxicated
I'm sick of always feeling like I ain't shit
I'm tired of constantly feeling worthless
All girls are the same
I believe all girls are alike in their actions
All girls are the same
I believe all girls are alike in their actions
