Fake Love
Kidd Quan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Letting people in is way too hard, I can't trust
That we ain't gon fall apart when it's rough
You try making me believe in love again
But I know a broken heart can't feel no love
Tried to do it in the past
And that's why I don't got no trust
Only fear is we gon' shatter into pieces when it's rough
Cause I seen a lot of fake love
It be times, I don't even wanna wake up
Quit the pills but the liquor do the same stuff
I would tell my that it wasn't addictied
But I know a sober me never really existed then
I don't think it's in my head
Plus my heart been ripped to shreds
Im dissociative, introverted, antisocial
I hate the person that I am
I just wanna start my life over again
I know
I can't but I just hope
It won't be like this forever
Too much pressure on my soul
Let it kill me over time
Fight my battles on my own
Say I'm fine I know I'm lying cause a
Broken heart can't love
Letting people in is way too hard, I can't trust
That we ain't gon fall apart when it's rough
You try making me believe in love again
But I know a broken heart can't feel no love
Tried to do it in the past
And that's why I don't got no trust
Only fear is we gon' shatter into pieces when it's rough
I don't know if I believe in love
Cause I seen a lot of fake love
Try to let them thoughts pass me by
But they always end up eating me alive
Talking to myself, asking why
It seems like I never see the brighter side, damn
Maybe it's cause I already been through all the drama
Seen it first hand, I can't take it any longer
I don't wanna fall back in pattern I got out of
Took a little time but now I know
That I had to let go
Of what crumbled me to nothing
I feel safe when I'm alone
Can't nobody waste my time
That don't mean that's how I want it
But fuck it cause if I'm honest then a
Broken heart can't love
Letting people in is way too hard, I can't trust
That we ain't gon fall apart when it's rough
You try making me believe in love again
But I know a broken heart can't feel no love
Tried to do it in the past
And that's why I don't got no trust
Only fear is we gon' shatter into pieces when it's rough
I don't know if I believe in love
Cause I seen a lot of fake love
In the song "Fake Love" by Kidd Quan, the lyrics delve into the struggles and doubts that arise from dealing with a broken heart and the difficulty of trusting and believing in love again. The artist expresses the belief that a broken heart cannot truly experience love and that attempting to do so in the past has only resulted in a lack of trust and fear of falling apart when faced with challenges.
The lyrics further explore the artist's personal battles with substance abuse and the attempts to find solace in unhealthy coping mechanisms such as pills and alcohol. Kidd Quan acknowledges his inability to truly overcome addiction and admits that the sober version of himself feels nonexistent. This contributes to his negative self-image and self-hatred, causing a desire to start life from scratch.
The artist also depicts the internal struggles he faces, including dissociation, introversion, and antisocial tendencies. He despairs over the person he has become and longs for a fresh start. The pressure and burden on his soul intensify over time, leading to a metaphorical death. Despite claiming to be fine when asked how he is, he acknowledges that he is lying to protect himself.
The recurring theme throughout the song emphasizes the belief that a broken heart cannot love and that letting people in and trusting others is an incredibly difficult task. Having experienced fake love multiple times, the artist questions his faith in love and highlights the fear of relationships crumbling and causing further emotional damage. The lyrics ultimately convey a mix of pain, resilience, and skepticism towards love due to past disappointments and a fear of vulnerability.
