Fake Smiles - Phora.mp3

[00:16.53]It's like, the more I try, the less I feel
[00:21.37]In desperate need of something real
[00:24.30]Why, lately I ain't been the same?
[00:27.05]And why I try so hard to hide this pain
[00:30.39]I search, but I can't ever find
[00:33.21]Can't seem to leave my past behind
[00:36.46]'Cause all the ones I hope would stay
[00:39.51]Are all the ones that fade away
[00:42.44]Truth is I think about you often
[00:44.58]I miss your voice,
[00:45.34]I miss your smile that I used to get lost in
[00:47.59]I know you know I have this thing for you,
[00:49.38]I never lost it
[00:50.64]I think I just lost myself,
[00:51.97]In the midst of the non-sense
[00:53.55]9 times out of 10,
[00:54.56]I'd close my eyes and dream about you
[00:56.29]Don't know what it was,
[00:57.40]But you just had this thing about you
[00:59.34]Lately we've been distant, see,
[01:00.87]I just can't be without you
[01:02.08]And my soul got so attached to yours
[01:03.55]I can't be me without you
[01:05.09]But, we hate ourselves
[01:06.65]Because we run from the people we love
[01:08.43]And we all hold on to the past 'cause we miss what it was
[01:11.48]Don't wanna feel so we try to numbin' the pain with these drugs
[01:14.54]Living in hell, 'cause we lost faith in the place up above
[01:17.70]And my anxiety is breaking me, it kills me
[01:20.53]I'm living in a world so fake,
[01:21.96]I lost touch of the real me
[01:23.59]Had to take a look back,
[01:24.81]Just to ask me if I'm still me
[01:26.60]And would I still stand for this if they wanted to kill me?
[01:29.29]I can't take it no more,
[01:30.72]I just can't take it no more
[01:32.20]I can't smile like I'm okay,
[01:33.46]I just can't fake it no more
[01:35.39]I can't act like I've been happy and complacent no more
[01:38.14]'Cause every time I try to change, it is the same as before
[01:41.80]My karma's coming, my karma's coming, it's weighing in
[01:44.91]I'm drinking till all my feelings just fade away again
[01:47.91]And mama, she always told me "this ain't a way to live"
[01:50.95]But, when you feel what I'm feeling that's just the way it is
[01:54.00]I'm trying not to break down
[01:55.38]But I just can't hide this pain
[01:57.16]Saw myself in the mirror and I'm just not the same
[02:01.14]But who's to blame? I guess we all change
[02:03.26]We hurt the ones we love because of our pain, ****...
[02:18.00]It's like,
[02:20.09]The more I try, the less I feel
[02:22.83]In desperate need of something real
[02:25.64]Why, lately I ain't been the same?
[02:28.72]And why I try so hard to hide this pain
[02:31.88]I search, but I can't ever find
[02:34.72]Can't seem to leave my past behind
[02:37.97]'Cause all the ones I hope would stay
[02:40.91]Are all the ones that fade away
[02:47.20]Are all the ones that fade away
[02:53.36]Are all the ones that fade away
