Fake
James Bourne Lyrics

I can't believe
The singer expresses disbelief at what their girlfriend did

What my girlfriend did today
The singer wants to talk about what their girlfriend did recently

She screamed
The singer's girlfriend screamed loudly, causing distress

So loudly
The girlfriend's scream was particularly loud

Then she turned away
The girlfriend turned away from the artist after screaming

Why did she cut me down to size
The singer feels like their girlfriend criticized them in a hurtful way

She left me wondering
The girlfriend's behavior left the singer feeling unsure

Can I do it right
The artist worries that they might not be able to do something correctly

What am I gonna do now the games up
The artist worries about how to handle the situation now that they've been found out

Can't get her off that's kinda rough
The artist is having difficulty moving on after the breakup

She better not tell my mates today
The singer doesn't want their breakup to become public knowledge

So baby tell me now
The artist is asking for advice or reassurance

Do I need to measure
The singer is worried that they won't be good enough compared to their girlfriend's past partners

Cause I'm feeling under pressure
The singer is feeling stressed and anxious

I'm just hoping that the fear will go away
The singer is hoping that their feelings of fear and anxiety will eventually subside

Don't want to be a fake
The artist doesn't want to pretend to be someone they're not

I woke up in a sweat
The artist had a nightmare or was feeling anxious

Felt a disgrace
The singer feels like they did something wrong

She looked so beautiful
The singer's girlfriend is attractive

Love on her face
The girlfriend looks happy or content

Feeling stupid all on my own
The artist feels foolish, possibly due to the way their girlfriend treated them

I put it down to experience
The artist wants to learn from what happened and move on

Cause now I've grown
The singer has matured and is wiser now

It's quite uncanny
The artist finds something to be strange or unlikely

Cause my favorite film is when Harry met Sally
The singer is referencing a movie they love, possibly to distract themselves from their problems

Now we're finished
The singer and their girlfriend are broken up

there's no way
The singer thinks there's no chance of reconciling

We're ever gonna be okay
The situation between the artist and their girlfriend won't improve

How low can I go
The artist feels like they've hit rock bottom

You might find me reading Cosmo
The singer is doing something unexpected, possibly trying to change themselves

But when I've finished
The singer will eventually move on from the magazine and their other behaviors

You know you're gonna want to be with me
Despite the artist's current troubles, they believe that others will find them desirable in the future

Got a girl on my sofa yeah
The artist is with a new girl after the breakup

Getting undressed
The new girl is taking off her clothes

I gotta know can I deliver
The singer is concerned about their ability to satisfy the new girl sexually

I've got the goods
The artist thinks they have what it takes to please the new girl

There's almost nothing left to say
The singer has said all they can say on the subject

So wish me luck not gonna run
The singer is willing to take a risk and face the new situation

The final countdown has begun
The singer is starting a new chapter, moving forward from their past relationship

Not gonna see or hear you laughing in my face
The artist doesn't want their ex-girlfriend to know that they're moving on
