Fake
Randy Bettis Lyrics

And I feel like I'm someone else

The hurting is rough, long are the days
This breakup has caused the singer a lot of pain and the healing process feels like it will take forever.

And you have hurt me enough

You're scared to be loved, you know that's your way

And your youth hasn't made you too tough

You're hurting for love in so many ways

The truth has hurt you enough

I read a book and it's your face
The artist sees their partner's face in everything and is constantly reminded of them.

It's your face now
The artist can't escape their partner's face, even when they try to distract themselves.

But fake, hey, hey

Still my love for you was no mistake

I will always love you

Hoping for love, day after day

And it's always someone else
Unfortunately, this hope for love is always met with disappointment as they watch others find happiness instead.

You're burning your hair
The artist describes their partner's destructive behavior as they smoke and accidentally burn their hair.

On your cigarette, oo baby
The artist sees their partner's dangerous habit, but still addresses them lovingly as 'baby.'

Turning your nose up
The singer describes their partner's disdain for their girlfriend's clothes, showing how their partner is judgmental and critical of others.

At the clothes your girlfriend wears
This behavior shows the singer that their partner may not be a good person to be in a relationship with.

I don't care
The artist asserts their own independence and self-worth, declaring that they don't care about their partner's negative attitude.

It's of no use baby
Despite their best efforts, the artist knows that their love for their partner is futile and they cannot change the situation.

I can feel it, you're right now

I will always love, I will love, love you
The singer reiterates that their love for their partner will never go away, no matter what happens.

Always, always, always
The artist emphasizes the eternal nature of their love.

I will love you, baby
The singer addresses their partner with affection, but acknowledges that their love may not be reciprocated.

But fake
This one-word line reinforces the central theme of the song: that the singer's relationship with their partner was not authentic or truthful, despite their love for each other.

Hey
The word 'hey' is used as a filler word that does not add meaning to the lyrics, but is used for rhythm and musicality.
