Fake Love
True North Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me darling how you sleep tonight
You toss and turn, I stare and sigh
Secret games, pretend we act so slick
It's just like us to only think with our (shh...)
I've lost the way I sleep
White lies under white sheets
'Til I start to believe
That this is more than
Fake love on repeat
Fake love on repeat
Last night was a mistake defined
The sun shines through like a warning sign
City siren symphonies
An hour since we fell asleep
And now the midnight showings are killing me
I just spent the last hour throwing up the last few drinks
Everything is overflowing so we part ways
Think we need a little growing up the hard way
I've lost the way I sleep
White lies under white sheets
'Til I start to believe
That this is more than
Fake love on repeat
(Can't shake the feeling)
Fake love on repeat
(Still waiting for you to tell me this is more than)
Fake love on repeat
Fake love on repeat
I've lost the way I sleep
White lies under white sheets
'Til I start to believe
That this is more than
Fake love on repeat
(Can't shake the feeling)
Fake love on repeat
(Still waiting for you to tell me this is more than)
Fake love
This is more than fake love
This is more than fake love on repeat




Fake love on repeat
(Still waiting for you to tell me this is more than)
