Faking Love
T.G. Sheppard Duet With Karen Brooks Lyrics

In T.G. Sheppard Duet With Karen Brooks's song "Faking Love," the lyrics describe a situation where two people engage in a physical and emotional relationship, but neither is truly invested in the other. The first few lines set the scene, with the lovers preparing for a night of intimacy, but there is an undercurrent of insincerity in their actions. As they lie in bed, they exchange words of affection, but it is clear that their feelings are not genuine. The chorus, "faking love, faking love, only temporary lovers," brings attention to the fact that this relationship is not a real, long-lasting one.

The second verse describes the aftermath of their encounter. They pretend to be cheerful as they make coffee and exchange small talk, but the sadness and emptiness of their encounter is apparent. There is no use in crying over "a feeling that's all gone" because they both knew that their relationship was based on a pretense. In the end, they are left with nothing but their memories of this temporary feeling of love which was never really love at all.

Overall, "Faking Love" is a somber commentary on the emptiness of physical relationships without emotional depth, and the painful realization that such encounters are ultimately unfulfilling.
