Fake Love
Tari Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's 4 in the morning
I'll drink what I poured then sleep it off
In the bed I was yours in
But not anymore, so I'm waking up
On the wrong side of myself again
Big fights with the wild one in my skin
So I'm just ignoring my phone
Till the weed kicks in

'Cause I wanna get fucked up, up
And if you wanna come over I'm down, down
I'll set my best teacups, even let you wear the crown
Don't care if it's made up, I wanna play fake love
(Bounce)

You say I'm corny
Is it bad that I read that with an H?
I can't help that I'm hopeful
Think I need more vodka to demonstrate
My love for the dimple in your chin
I'd like your nails sunk in my skin
Know I'm not yours yet, just wait
Till the weed kicks in

'Cause I wanna get fucked up, up
And if you wanna sleepover I'm down, down
I'll set my best teacups, even let you wear the crown




Don't care if it's made up, I wanna play fake love
(Bounce)

Overall Meaning

In Tari's song "Fake Love," she describes the feeling of being in a toxic relationship and desiring to escape it. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is willing to do just about anything to numb the pain of an unhealthy situation. At 4 in the morning, Tari admits to taking a drink to help her sleep it off, reflecting on the fact that she used to be with someone who she gave herself to completely but is no longer with. She then goes on to describe herself as being on the wrong side of herself, in a constant battle with the wild one in her skin.


In the chorus, Tari expresses her desire to get "fucked up" and play "fake love," demonstrating her willingness to engage in something that isn't genuine if it'll provide a temporary escape from her problems. She invites someone over to drink with her, offering to set her best teacups and let them wear a crown, regardless of whether or not it's all made up. The second verse finds Tari admitting that she knows she's being hopeful, but can't help it. She describes the things she loves about her partner, like the dimple in their chin, and confesses that they're not together yet but to just wait until the weed kicks in.


Overall, Tari's "Fake Love" is a raw and honest depiction of the complicated emotions that can come with being in a toxic relationship. The lyrics' vulnerability and rawness lend themselves to a powerful message about the importance of recognizing when a relationship has run its course and moving forward.
